Burnet Cove

Burnet Cove (54°14′S 36°30′W / 54.233°S 36.500°W / -54.233; -36.500Coordinates: 54°14′S 36°30′W / 54.233°S 36.500°W / -54.233; -36.500) is a cove 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) southwest of Mai Point, on the east side of Maiviken in Cumberland Bay, South Georgia. It was roughly surveyed by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Otto Nordenskiöld; it was resurveyed in 1929 by Discovery Investigations personnel, and in 1951 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey. The name Burnet, given by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee, is the English name of a plant (genus Acaena) which is common in this vicinity.[1]
