Names that other countries have for this feature:
A narrow fjord, 10 mi long, between Langnes Peninsula and Breidnes Peninsula in the Vestfold Hills. Mapped from air photos by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936-37) and named after Langnes Peninsula. John Roscoe's 1952 study of air photos taken by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47) revealed that this fjord continues farther east than was previously mapped, and that it includes what had been plotted as an isolated lake which the Norwegians had called "Breidvatnet."
