Kraken Cove

Kraken Cove (57°3′S 26°41′W) is the largest cove at Candlemas Island, South Sandwich Islands, indenting the north coast of the island, just west of Demon Point and north of Gorgon Pool[1]. The name applied by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1971 is that of a legendary Norwegian sea monster, the Kraken.[2]
