Jossac Bight

Jossac Bight: Jossac Bight (also, formerly "Jossac Bite", coord|54|16|S|37|11|W|) is a bight extending for 7 miles (11 km) along the south coast of South Georgia between Holmestrand and Aspasia Point. The name "Jossac Bite" [sic] was used by the early sealers for a bight to the southeast of King Haakon Bay, probably the feature now described. The compound name "Holmestrand-Hortenbucht" (presumably derived from the two existing names Holmestrand and Horten, q.v.) was later used by a German expedition under Kohl-Larsen 1928-29. A form of the earlier name has been approved.
