Argonavt Cove
Argonavt Cove is the 1.85 km wide cove indenting for 950 m the north coast of Nelson Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It is entered east of Retamales Point and west of Baklan Point.
The cove is named after the ocean fishing trawler Agonavt of the Bulgarian company Ocean Fisheries – Burgas that operated in Antarctic waters off South Georgia and the South Orkney Islands during its fishing trip under Captain Kosyo Angelov from December 1978 to July 1979. A designated onboard team of marine biologists undertook fisheries research in the process.The Bulgarian fishermen, along with those of the Soviet Union, Poland and East Germany are the pioneers of modern Antarctic fishing industry.[L.
