Nevsha Cove

Nevsha Cove (Bulgarian: залив Невша, ‘Zaliv Nevsha’ \'za-liv 'nev-sha\) is the 2.5 km wide cove indenting for 3 km Graham Coast on the Antarctic Peninsula north of Plas Point. It is part of the south arm of Beascochea Bay. The head of the cove is fed by Funk Glacier, and its shape was enhanced as a result of that glacier's retreat during the last decade of 20th century and the first decade of 21st century.
