| 释义 | {{Orphan|date=November 2010}} Papua Beach ({{coord|54|15|S|36|34|W|display=inline,title}}) is a beach 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) long on the southeast shore of Cumberland West Bay, South Georgia. The name derives from "Papua Cove," now an obsolete name, applied for a minor recession of the shore of this beach by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition under Nordenskjold, 1901–04, because a colony of gentoo penguins (Pygoscelis papua) was found there. The cove was called "Pinguinbucht" on a 1907 chart by A. Szielasko, and the form Penguin Bay appears on some later charts. Following this survey in 1951-52, the SGS reported that the beach now described, rather than the cove or bay, is the significant feature for which a name is required. {{usgs-gazetteer}}{{SouthGeorgia-geo-stub}} 1 : Beaches of South Georgia |
