off W side of Hurd Peninsula, Livingston Island. The name Sallys Cove was applied by Weddell in 1820-23 to a cove lying SW of Johnsons Dock (q.v.) (Weddell, chart, [?1824a]). Air photography by FIDASE, 1956-57, showed no true cove in this area, but these rocks may have formed one arm of what appeared to Weddell to be a cove.

Group of rocks lying in South Bay just N of Miers Bluff, Livingston Island, in the South Shetland Islands. The name Sallys Cove was applied to a feature shown lying southward of Johnsons Dock by James Weddell in 1820-23. There is no true cove in this area, but these rocks may have formed one arm of what appeared to him to be a cove. The name Sally Rocks was given by the UK-APC in 1961 in order to preserve Weddell's name in the vicinity. |
