Name ID: 105624
Place ID: 5568
Denominada por Sir James R. G. Graham, primer Lord del Almirantazgo en la época en que John Biscoe exploraba a lo largo de la costa W de la península Tierra de O'Higgins en el año 1832. Esta área de la costa W de la península Tierra de O'Higgins se extiende desde el cabo Renard en el lado SW de la entrada a la bahía Marín Darbel. Toda la costa está afectada por la erosión, frente a ella se extiende una zona de aguas sucias donde se levantan numerosas islas, entre ellas se forman fondeaderos de emergencias para buques pequeños. Un problema, son los hielos flotantes a la deriva. Por los valles descienden extensos glaciares, que en verano descargan grandes cantidades de témpanos y escombros de hielos, que llenan las bahías. Las ensenadas que se forman en la costa son muy profundas, por lo que no se encuentra fondeadero en ellos. |
