Lilliehöökfjorden

Lilliehöökfjorden is a 14 kilometer long fjord branch of Krossfjorden in Albert I Land at the northwestern side of Spitsbergen, Svalbard. The fjord is named after Gustaf Bertil Lilliehöök.[1]

Lilliehöökfjorden.

Lilliehöökfjorden is separated from Möllerfjorden by the 12 kilometer long mountain ridge Kong Haakons Halvøy.[2]

The Lilliehöökbreen glacier debouches into the fjord, and calved ice may fill large parts of the fjord.[3][4]
