Geologfjord

The fjord was named in 1899 by Swedish Arctic explorer and geologist A.G. Nathorst during the expedition he led to Greenland in search of survivors of S. A. Andrée's Arctic balloon expedition of 1897. The name was chosen owing to the spectacularly colored strata and rock formations in the shores of the fjord. ==Geography==

It is a narrow and winding fjord located between mountains rising up to on both sides, with cliffs displaying beautifully colored strata. It runs roughly in a NW /SE direction with Andrée Land to the west and Strindberg Land to the east. The Nunatak Glacier has its terminus at its head. To the south the fjord opens into the northern shore of the Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord and Cape Ovibos is the headland at the eastern side of the entrance. ==See also==
