Barber Cove
Barber Cove (54°0′S 37°39′W / 54.000°S 37.650°WCoordinates: 54°0′S 37°39′W / 54.000°S 37.650°W) is a small, rock-strewn cove bounded by Bluff Point and Craigie Point, in the east part of Right Whale Bay, South Georgia. The name Scott Bay, of unknown origin, appears for the feature on a chart based upon a 1930 survey by DI personnel. It was named Barber Cove by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1963, for Leading Seaman John M. Barber of HMS Owen, which surveyed the area in 1961.
