Argentina Cove

Argentina Cove is a 1.28 km wide embayment indenting for 330 m the southeast coast of Hurd Peninsula, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It is part of South Bay, entered between Polish Bluff and Henry Bluff. The area was frequented by early 19th century sealers operating from nearby Johnsons Dock.

gollark: That would be nice, certainly.
gollark: So actually I do have an idea.
gollark: I have no idea. Try and learn multiple diverse skills, probably.
gollark: You probably couldn't throw electronic schematics into one of those sanely, but I don't think that's a fundamental barrier.
gollark: We already have some automation for the "writing boring chunks of glue code" side of programming by throwing somewhat poorly optimised language models at it.
