Barutin Cove

Barutin Cove (Bulgarian: залив Барутин, ‘Zaliv Barutin’ \'za-liv 'ba-ru-tin\) is the 2.05 km wide cove indenting for 1.03 km the southwest coast of Snow Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It is entered north of Monroe Point and south of Vokil Point. The cove's shape is enhanced as a result of glacier retreat in the late 20th and early 21st century.
