Geography
The Hekla Sound branches to the NW of the Dijmphna Sound at Cape Marie Dijmphna, separating the shore of Lynn Island from the southwestern shore of Holm Land with the southern end of the Princess Caroline-Mathilde Alps to the north. Further west it bends roughly southward, with Skallingen in the Greenland mainland to the west, joining again with the Dijmphna Sound.Prostar Sailing Directions 2005 Greenland and Iceland Enroute, p. 128
