Doris Cove (Bulgarian: залив Дорис, romanized: zaliv Doris, IPA: [ˈzalif ˈdɔris]) is the 1.3 km wide cove indenting for 600 m the southwest coast of Greenwich Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica south of Oborishte Ridge and northwest of Ephraim Bluff. It is formed as a result of the retreat of Wulfila Glacier in the first two decades of 21st century.[1] Bulgarian topographic survey Tangra 2004/05. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.[2]
The feature is named after the sea goddess Doris in Greek mythology.[1]
