GUNNAR ISACHSEN. M.-N. Kl. 



Lilliehook Bay is also very deep, being 260 metres at its deepest 

 part. The greatest depths occur unsymmetrically, nearest the eastern 

 shore. About 4 kilometres south of Lilliehöök Glacier on the west side, 

 an arm, Port Signe, branches off in a south-westerly direction, divided 

 into two by Gunnar Peninsula, with Fridtjov Bay on the north side of it, 

 rather more than 2 kilometres in length, and Nils Ba}^ on the south side, 

 not quite i kilometre long. There is anchorage in Fridtjov Bay, midway 

 between Fridtjov Point and Gunnar Point, in from 15 to 20 metres of 

 water. Good holding ground. 



In Moller Bav the depth varies. There are depths as great as 300 

 metres, while close by Kohn Island rises out of the water and Gallopin 

 Shallow lies only 3Y2 metres below the surface. The upper part ot the 

 fjord is filled with mud from Supan Glacier. There is capital anchor- 

 age in Moller Bay, in from 20 to 40 metres of water. A vessel should 

 not anchor in less than 20 metres, as from that depth the ground rises 

 rapidly. To avoid Gallopin Shallow when sailing into the bay, a vessel 

 should keep near King Haakon Peninsula. East of Kohn Island she must 

 proceed cautiously and use the lead, as the soundings here — as the 

 chart shows — are somewhat wide apart. 



The contour of Ebeltoft Harbour is very irregular. Its length from 

 Enjalbal Spit to the innermost creek is i kilometre, and the width 

 varies from 200 to 1400 metres. The entrance is half closed by a sandy 

 spit, Enjalbal Spit, which reduces the opening to 562 metres. The 

 depth is small, being nowhere more than 2^2 metres. In Ebeltoft Har- 

 bour ships of medium size can anchor opposite the entrance in about 

 15 metres of water. One must not anchor north of a line from Bourée 

 Point to the southern extremity of King Haakon Peninsula, but rather to 

 the south of it. Excellent holding ground, sand and gravel. Outside the 

 anchorage the bottom drops abruptly to the great depths of Cross Bay. 



The little 14th July Bay has depths of up to 78 metres, but outside 

 it the bottom drops abruptly. 



Louis Tinayre Bay is 2^0 kilometres long and 2 kilometres broad, 

 with depths of up to 174 metres. Here too, the slope of the bottom from 

 the mouth of the bay to Cross Bay is steep. 



The three last-named branch-fjords are all raised valleys in relation 

 to the main fjord. 



The only island in Cross Bay and its branches is the little Kohn 

 Island. 



Kings Bay and Cross Bay are among the most beautiful fjords in 

 Spitsbergen, and have been visited by Norwegian tourist vessels since
