Haskovo Cove
Haskovo Cove (Zaliv Haskovo \'za-liv 'ha-sko-vo\) is a 2.1 km wide cove indenting for 1 km the northern coast of Greenwich Island between Aprilov Point and Miletich Point in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. Situated next east of Crutch Peaks, southwest of Ongley Island and northwest of Sevtopolis Peak. Shape enhanced as a result of Teteven Glacier’s retreat in the late 20th and early 21st century. The cove is named after the city of Haskovo in Southeastern Bulgaria.

gollark: I don't mean distinguishing words which are the same except in gender, that's stupid.
gollark: You know what would be cool? Dynamically generate new API versions for no reason.
gollark: Well, yes, that's basically what I'm talking about - you can use genders to reference three or so at once.
gollark: Or to have a convenient short way to say "the noun I said 3rd most recently" or somethin.
gollark: Possibly more useful would be the ability to temporarily assign nouns to "variables" or something in a language, and then reference those in place of a noun.
