Express Cove

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Express Cove (60°42′S, 45°39′W) is a small cove north of Foca Point on the west coast of Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. It has a very indented shoreline with numerous offshore islands and rocks. It was roughly charted in 1933 by DI personnel, and surveyed in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for the American schooner Express, Thomas B. Lynch commanding, which visited the South Orkney Islands in 1880.
