Geography
[edit]The Hellefisk Fjord opens in the NNE of Herluf Trolle Land to the east of Wyckoff Land, southwest of Cape Clarence Wyckoff, west of which there is a small bay with an island off Cape Henry Parish. Its mouth is located to the southeast of the mouth of G.B. Schley Fjord.[1] 853 metres (2,799 ft) high Mount Clarence Wyckoff rises to the east of the eastern shore of the fjord.[2]
