Nevsha Cove
Nevsha Cove ( bg, залив Невша, ‘Zaliv Nevsha’ \'za-liv 'nev-sha\) is the 2.5 km wide cove indenting for 3 km Graham Coast on the Antarctic Peninsula north of Plas Point. It is part of the south arm of Beascochea Bay. The head of the cove is fed by Funk Glacier, and its shape was enhanced as a result of that glacier's retreat during the last decade of 20th century and the first decade of 21st century. The feature is named after the settlement of Nevsha in Northeastern Bulgaria. Location Nevsha Cove is centred at . Maps Antarctic Digital Database (ADD).Scale 1:250000 topographic map of Antarctica.

Antarctic Peninsula
The Antarctic Peninsula, known as O'Higgins Land in Chile and Tierra de San Martín in Argentina, and originally as Graham Land in the United Kingdom and the Palmer Peninsula in the United States, is the northernmost part of mainland Antarctica. The Antarctic Peninsula is part of the larger peninsula of West Antarctica, protruding from a line between Cape Adams (Weddell Sea) and a point on the mainland south of the Eklund Islands. Beneath the ice sheet that covers it, the Antarctic Peninsula consists of a string of bedrock islands; these are separated by deep channels whose bottoms lie at depths considerably below current sea level. They are joined by a grounded ice sheet. Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of South America, is about away across the Drake Passage. The Antarctic Peninsula is in area and 80% ice-covered. The marine ecosystem around the western continental shelf of the Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) has been subjected to rapid climate change. Over the past 50 ...

Plas Point
Plas Point ( bg, нос Плас, ‘Nos Plas’ \'nos 'plas\) is the point on the south side of the entrance to Nevsha Cove, Graham Coast on the Antarctic Peninsula. Its shape was enhanced as a result of the adjacent Funk Glacier and Cadman Glacier retreating during the last decade of 20th century and the first decade of 21st century. The feature is named after Plas Peak in Pirin Mountain, Bulgaria. Location Plas Point is located at , which is 11.65 km southeast of Chiloé Point and 6.15 km south-southeast of Holst Point.

Funk Glacier
Funk Glacier () is a glacier flowing into the head of Nevsha Cove in Beascochea Bay to the south of Frölich Peak, on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was first charted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908–10, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1959 for Casimir Funk, an American (formerly Polish) biochemist who, while working at the Lister Institute The Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine, informally known as the Lister Institute, was established as a research institute (the British Institute of Preventive Medicine) in 1891, with bacteriologist Marc Armand Ruffer as its first director, us ... in London in 1912, originated the theory of vitamins.

Scientific Committee On Antarctic Research
The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) is an interdisciplinary body of the International Science Council (ISC). SCAR coordinates international scientific research efforts in Antarctica, including the Southern Ocean. SCAR's scientific work is administered through several discipline-themed ''science groups''. The organisation has observer status at, and provides independent advice to Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meetings, and also provides information to other international bodies such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). History At the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU)’s Antarctic meeting held in Stockholm from 9–11 September 1957, it was agreed that a committee should be created to oversee scientific research in Antarctica. At the time there were 12 nations actively conducting Antarctic research and they were each invited to nominate one delegate to ...

Bulgaria And The Antarctic
Bulgaria (; bg, България, Bǎlgariya), officially the Republic of Bulgaria,, ) is a country in Southeast Europe. It is situated on the eastern flank of the Balkans, and is bordered by Romania to the north, Serbia and North Macedonia to the west, Greece and Turkey to the south, and the Black Sea to the east. Bulgaria covers a territory of , and is the sixteenth-largest country in Europe. Sofia is the nation's capital and largest city; other major cities are Plovdiv, Varna and Burgas. One of the earliest societies in the lands of modern-day Bulgaria was the Neolithic Karanovo culture, which dates back to 6,500 BC. In the 6th to 3rd century BC the region was a battleground for ancient Thracians, Persians, Celts and Macedonians; stability came when the Roman Empire conquered the region in AD 45. After the Roman state splintered, tribal invasions in the region resumed. Around the 6th century, these territories were settled by the early Slavs. The Bulgars, led by As ...

Coves Of Graham Land
A cove is a small type of bay or coastal inlet. Coves usually have narrow, restricted entrances, are often circular or oval, and are often situated within a larger bay. Small, narrow, sheltered bays, inlets, creeks, or recesses in a coast are often considered coves. Colloquially, the term can be used to describe a sheltered bay. Geomorphology describes coves as precipitously-walled and rounded cirque-like openings as in a valley extending into or down a mountainside, or in a hollow or nook of a cliff or steep mountainside. A cove can also refer to a corner, nook, or cranny, either in a river, road, or wall, especially where the wall meets the floor. A notable example is Lulworth Cove on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, England. To its west, a second cove, Stair Hole, is forming. Formation Coves are formed by differential erosion Weathering is the deterioration of rocks, soils and minerals as well as wood and artificial materials through contact with water, atmospheric gase ...
