Larsen Harbour

[1] It is a branch of Drygalski Fjord, entered 2.5 miles (4 km) west-northwest of Nattriss Head, at the southeast end of South Georgia Island.

The most significant of these was the first discovery of fossils on the continent, for which he received the Back Grant from the Royal Geographical Society.

[3][4][5] The peaks and mountain crests surrounding the almost land-locked harbour was described by Sir Ernest Shackleton's photographer Frank Hurley as "most beautiful and exceeding all in grandeur even that of Milford Sound".

[6] The Niall Rankin expedition aboard the Albatross, spent some time here as they studied the Weddell seal colony before going on to Esbensen Bay.

[7] The area is rat-free, allowing species such as the South Georgia pipit, and burrowing petrels and prions to thrive.
