Cora Cove is the 750 m wide cove in the northwest part of Blythe Bay indenting for 590 m the southeast coast of Desolation Island off Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands , Antarctica . The cove was used by early 19th century sealers operating from Blythe Bay.
The feature is named after the British brig Cora (Captain Robert Fildes) lost there on 6 January 1821. Later that year Captain George Powell visited and charted the cove; he also reported the loss.
