Orne Harbour

Orne Harbour (64°37′S 62°32′W / 64.617°S 62.533°W / -64.617; -62.533Coordinates: 64°37′S 62°32′W / 64.617°S 62.533°W / -64.617; -62.533) is a cove 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) wide, indenting the west coast of Graham Land west of Mount Fourcade, and 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) southwest of Cape Anna. Discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache in 1898. The name Orne Harbour was probably in use by Norwegian whalers, because it was used by Scottish geologist David Ferguson following his geologic reconnaissance of this area aboard the whaler Hanka in 1913.
