The Fjord is about 4 miles long, sharply cut into South Georgia’s southeast coast and

the walls on both sides are high (probably 1000 ft. or more) and deeply sculptured in

basaltic rock, which may or may not has become metamorphic by now. There are

tussock grasses growing along the lower slopes and the huge boulders sitting out in

the swells of the sea. There is a considerable amount of kelp in the waters and there

is more greenery to be seen on the mountainsides than can be attributed to the

tussocks. Green mosses and golden and orange algae are also seen decorating the

rocks along the shore.
