Anzac
Cove (Turkish: Anzak Koyu) is a small cove on the Gallipoli peninsula
in Turkey. It became famous as the site of World War I landing of the
ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) on 25 April 1915. The cove
is a mere 600 metres (2,000 ft) long, bounded by the headlands of Ari
Burnu to the north and Little Ari Burnu, known as Hell Spit, to the
south. Following the landing at Anzac Cove, the beach became the main
base for the Australian and New Zealand troops for the eight months of
the Battle of Gallipoli.
