Brabazon Point is the headland forming the east side of the entrance to Salveson Cove, Valdivia Point the northwest side.

Location of Pefaur (Ventimiglia) Peninsula on Danco Coast, Antarctic Peninsula.

The cove was partially outlined on the charts of the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache, 1897–99. Probably named by whalers operating in this vicinity after Salvesen and Company, whalers of Leith, Scotland.
