A cove, 0.3 mi wide, which has been formed by the erosion of an extinct volcanic crater of which Mount Andree forms the N side, indenting the W side of Heard Island between West Bay and South West Bay. The cove is roughly charted on an American sealer's sketch map prepared during the 1860-70 period. It was more accurately charted and first named on a geological sketch map illustrating the 1929 work of the British Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) under Mawson.
