Elsehul

Elsehul (coord|54|1|S|37|59|W|) is a bay 0.5 miles (0.8 km) wide, entered close west of Cape Pride along the north coast of South Georgia. The name dates back to the period 1905-12 and was probably applied by Norwegian sealers and whalers working in the area.

It is separated from Undine Harbour by a narrow isthmus, the Survey Isthmus.
