Harmony Cove

Harmony Cove (62°18′58″S 59°10′59″W / 62.316°S 59.183°W / -62.316; -59.183) is a cove entered between Harmony Point and The Toe on the west side of Nelson Island, in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It was named by American sealers in about 1820 after the sealing vessel Harmony, under Captain Thomas Ray, one of several American sealing vessels headquartered at Harmony Cove during the 1820–21 season.[1][2]

The northwest side of the cove is defined by Inca Point, an isolated stack off the point which is said to bear a striking resemblance to the head of an Inca. The name "Punta Inca" seems first to appear on a 1957 Argentine hydrographic chart. An English form of the name has been approved.[3]
