Bourchier Cove

Bourchier Cove (Bulgarian: залив Баучър, romanized: zaliv Bauchar, IPA: [ˈzaliv ˈbaot͡ʃɐr]) is the 2.35 km wide cove indenting for 860 m the northwest coast of Smith Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. Entered between Jireček Point and Villagra Point.

The cove is named after Bourchier Peak in Rila Mountain, southwestern Bulgaria, in connection with the Irish journalist and Bulgarian activist James David Bourchier (1850–1920).
