Menguante Cove

Menguante Cove is a 1.47 km wide embayment indenting for 1.22 km the east coast of the horseshoe-shaped Half Moon Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica.

The area was visited by early 19th century sealers operating from nearby Yankee Harbour, and later by whalers; a whaling dory lies on the main landing beach on the southeast coast of the cove.

[1] Nowadays Menguante Cove is frequented by Antarctic cruise ships.

The Argentine Antarctic base Cámara is situated at the cove's head.
