Cangrejo Cove
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cangrejo Cove () is a cove 1.5 miles long lying immediately west of Azure Cove in Flandres Bay, along the west coast of Graham Land. First roughly charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache, 1897-99. The name "Bahia Cangrejo" ("crayfish cove" or "crayfish bay") was given by the Argentine Antarctic Expedition of 1951-52. The name is descriptive and derives from the small cove forming the west side of the cove which, when viewed from the air, resembles the pincers of a crayfish.
