Gurkovska Cove (Bulgarian: залив Гурковска, ‘Zaliv Gurkovska’ \'za-liv 'gur-kov-ska\) is the 3 km wide cove indenting for 2.5 km the east extremity of Elephant Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It is entered southwest of Boyadzhiev Point and northeast of Walker Point. Its southwest side is occupied by Slavyanka Beach. The feature was formed as a result of the retreat of The Stadium (a glacier feeding the cove's head) in the first decade of 21st century.

  • Die Gurkovska Cove (englisch; bulgarisch залив Гурковска saliw Gurkowska) ist eine 3 km breite und 2,5 km lange Bucht am östlichen Ausläufer von Elephant Island im Archipel der Südlichen Shetlandinseln. Sie liegt südwestlich des Kap Valentine sowie nordöstlich des Walker Point und wurde durch den Rückzug der Eismassen des Bergkessels The Stadium zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts freigelegt. Britische Wissenschaftler kartierten sie 2009. Die bulgarische Kommission für Antarktische Geographische Namen benannte sie 2016 nach Julija Gurkowska, einer Teilnehmerin an der (1993–1994). (de)

The feature was formed as a result of the retreat of The Stadium (a glacier feeding the cove's head) in the first decade of 21st century. The cove is named after Yuliya Gurkovska (1945–2001), participant in the Second Bulgarian Antarctic Expedition 1993/94 (while serving as chief of staff of the Bulgarian President Zhelyu Zhelev at that time), for her support for the Bulgarian Antarctic programme. Gurkovska was an experienced explorer who sailed several times together with her husband Doncho Papazov in the course of a plankton research programme carried out onboard various lifeboats in the Black Sea, the Atlantic and the Pacific. Eventually, accompanied by their daughter Yana (then 6 years old), they circumnavigated the world in the yacht Tivia in 1979–1981. (en)
