Skaptopara Cove

Skaptopara Cove is a 2 km wide cove indenting for 900 m the north coast of Greenwich Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica east of Aprilov Point and west of Terimer Point. Situated northeast of Sevtopolis Peak, southeast of Ongley Island and northwest of Mount Plymouth. The shape of the cove was enhanced as a result of Teteven Glacier’s retreat in the late 20th and early 21st century.
The cove is named after the ancient Thracian town of Skaptopara, ancestor of the present Bulgarian city of Blagoevgrad.
