GUNNAR ISACHSEN M.-N. Kl. 



Sörkap Öya (South Cape Island) is a flat island, only a couple of 

 metres above the water. Round the island the water is foul and filled 

 with large stones. NW of the island lies Sörkapholman (South Cape Islets). 

 To the west of these there is an evenly-rising rocky bottom, but there are 

 no rocks more than one nautical mile (1854 metres) from the islands. Nearer 

 the islands are some sunken rocks. 



At the promontory to the north of Goes Bay there is an evenly- 

 rising rock bottom, but no rocks more than 2 miles from land. Where 

 the chart gives "Sunk Rocks" there is from 40 to 60 metres of water, 

 except at the spot marked by a cross enclosed in a dotted circle where 

 there is a high rock surrounded by some sunken rocks. 



Both west and north-west of the southern entrance to Horn Sound, 

 Hornsund Huken, at a distance of more than 6 miles from land, there are 

 sunken rocks over which the sea breaks in rough weather. There are 

 breakers also to the north of Hornsund Huken, about 2 miles from land. 

 At the northern entrance to Horn Sound there is an evenly-rising bottom, 

 but no rocks more than half a mile from the shore. 



Between Dun Øyan (Dun Islands) and the shore, as also between Dun 

 Islands and Is Oyan (Ice Islands), there is shallow water with rock 

 bottom. 



Between Ice Islands and Ice Point there are some small islets. Both 

 outside and inside these, up to 2 and 3 miles from shore, there are shoals. 



At Ice Point there is a reef of shoals, extending more than 4 miles 

 from the shore. 



North of Dunder Bay there are shallows 2 miles from land, but onl}' 

 2 small islets above the surface of the water. 



At Cape Lyell there are a couple of rocks about a cable from the 

 shore. There are no shallows here more than a couple of cables from 

 the shore. 



Between Bell Sound and Ice Fjord are St. Hansholman (St. Hans 

 Islets) a group of three small islets about 2 cables from the shore, about 

 where the southernmost of Lizets Rocks appears on the chart. North of 

 these islets there are sunken rocks to a distance of about 4 miles from land.
