Atlas Cove has been named by American sealers after the schooner seal hunting fleet which landed at Heard Island in 1855.
It is a cove on the north coast of Heard Island and McDonald Islands in the southern Indian Ocean, and is entered between the base of the Laurens Peninsula and Rogers Head.
The name appears on a chart by the Challenger expedition under George Nares, which visited the island in HMS Challenger in 1874 and utilized the names then in use by the sealers.
