Jordan Cove Jordan Cove () is a small cove which is the principal indentation in the south side of Bird Island, off the west end of South Georgia. It was surveyed by the South Georgia Survey in the period 1951–57, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for David Starr Jordan, an American naturalist and the first president of Stanford University from 1891–1913. In 1896–97 Jordan was commissioner in charge of fur seal investigations in the North Pacific, and subsequently a powerful advocate of fur seal protection by international agreement. Fur seals breed on Bird Island, particularly in the vicinity of this cove.〔 ==References==
