Exasperation Inlet

Exasperation Inlet

Exasperation Inlet (coord|65|20|S|62|0|W|) is a large ice-filled inlet, 16 miles (26 km) wide at its entrance between Foyn Point and Cape Disappointment, on the east coast of Graham Land. Charted in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), who so named it because the disturbed nature of the ice in the vicinity caused considerable difficulty to sledging parties.
