Larsen Harbour, Natural inlet in South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
The harbor extends 2.6 miles into Drygalski Fjord, featuring steep volcanic rock formations and distinctive sheeted dyke structures along its length.
The Second German Antarctic Expedition conducted the first detailed mapping of the inlet between 1911 and 1912, recording its geographical features.
The inlet bears the name of Norwegian explorer Carl Anton Larsen, who established the first whaling station at Grytviken on South Georgia Island.
The waters remain free from invasive rat populations, creating protected conditions for native bird species including South Georgia pipits and petrels.
Multiple glaciers descend directly into the harbor waters, while Hash Island marks the entrance to this deep natural formation.
