King Haakon Bay

The King Haakon Bay, also known as King Haakon Sound, is a small bay on the southern coast of the island of South Georgia. It is about 13 kilometers long and 4 kilometers.

It is likely that the bay of the north coast haunting whalers was named after King Haakon VII of Norway. It is close to the Queen Maud Bay, which was named after his queen is.

The Cave Cove, which forms a part of the bay, is best known for the landfall Ernest Shackleton to have been in May 1916, when he sought help for his stranded crew that was stuck on Elephant Iceland. Shackleton and his men camped at Peggotty Bluff also in the bay.
