Sandefjord Cove (sometimes called Sandefjord Bay)[1] is a cove between Cape Ingrid and the terminus of Tofte Glacier on the west side of Peter I Island. A Norwegian expedition under Eyvind Tofte circumnavigated Peter I Island in the Odd I in 1927. In February 1929, the Norvegia under Nils Larsen carried out a series of investigations all around the island, landing on February 2 to hoist the Norwegian flag. The cove was named for Sandefjord, Norway, center of the Norwegian whaling industry.[2]
Framnes Head is a small rock point forming one of the headlands of the cove. dIt was charted and named by Larsen's expedition.[3] It is steep and rugged, composed of lava and basaltic tuff.[1] When members of the US Navy Second Antarctic Development Project landed there in 1948, they discovered a small colony of Adelie penguins.[1]
