In the mouth of the bay are many islets and several islands among them the Fox islands,† to which this note specially refers. The features here discussed relate to wave sculpture and ice sculpture, and a brief account of the topography is accordingly appropriate.TOPOGRAPHY OF FOX ISLANDSThere are two of the Fox islands, as distinguished from islets, North Haven and Vinal Haven, the former lying north of the latter and being separated from it by the Fox Islands thoroughfare, a narrow strait. Their extent is about 10 miles from north to south . . . This content is PDF only. Please click on the PDF icon to access.
