Digges Cove

Digges Cove (Bulgarian: залив Дигс, romanized: zaliv Digges, IPA: ['zaliv 'digs]) is the 1.77 km wide cove indenting for 860 m the north coast of Elephant Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica southeast of Eratosthenes Point.

It was formed as a result of the retreat of Snellius Glacier in the late 20th century.

The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.

[1] The feature is named after Leonard Digges (c. 1515–1559), a British mathematician and surveyor, inventor of the theodolite; in association with other names in the area deriving from the early development or use of geodetic instruments and methods.
