Iquique Cove is a small, 400 m (440 yd) wide cove indenting for 700 m (770 yd) the east coast of Discovery Bay, Greenwich Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. Iquique Cove is sheltered on the northwest by Guesalaga Peninsula, and the small González Island (62°29′04.5″S 59°40′05″W) is situated on the south side of the cove's entrance.
