Description (see definition): Bight extending for 7 mi along the S coast of South Georgia between Holmestrand and Aspasia Point. The name "Jossac Bite" was used by the early sealers for a bight to the SE of King Haakon Bay, probably the feature now described. The compound name "Holmestrand-Hortenbucht" (presumably derived from the two existing names Holmestrand and Horten, q.v.) was later used by a German expedition under Kohl-Larsen 1928-29. A form of the earlier name has been approved.
