Skaptopara Cove (Bulgarian: залив Скаптопара, romanized: zaliv Skaptopara, IPA: [ˈzalif skɐptoˈparɐ]) is a 2 km wide cove indenting for 900 m the north coast of Greenwich Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica east of Aprilov Point and west of Terimer Point. Situated northeast of Sevtopolis Peak, southeast of Ongley Island and northwest of Mount Plymouth. The shape of the cove was enhanced as a result of Teteven Glacier’s retreat in the late 20th and early 21st century.
The cove is named after the ancient Thracian town of Skaptopara, ancestor of the present Bulgarian city of Blagoevgrad.
The cove is centred at 62°26′55″S 59°50′58″W (British mapping in 1968, Chilean in 1971, and Bulgarian in 2005, 2009 and 2017).
