description
Enterprise is a safe and welcoming anchorage in case of a gale. The site was a frequent stopover for whaling ships at the beginning of the 20th century, notably around the factory ship SS Guvernøren, which caught fire and was then scuttled in 1915. Its wreck, still clearly visible today, can serve as an improvised quay.
Approach:
The approach is made from the southeast or northeast, paying attention to the sounder.
The seabed is cluttered with cables and various debris, making anchorage uncertain.
It is therefore advisable to moor directly along the wreck, securing the moorings to the bollards or to rocks onshore, especially in case of swell.
Fresh meltwater can be collected nearby.
The glacier calves regularly: caution is required regarding falling ice.
The deck of the wreck is now occupied by colonies of Antarctic terns.

Want to know how the wind score works? Then you should read this explanation.
The wind forecasts come from yr.no (Norwegian Meteorological Institute), and was last updated 16 timer siden (Thursday 31 July 05:18 AM). The next night score shows you the worst hour between 22:00 and 08:00 the next night. We recommend that you check multiple sources for wind forecasts. windy.com is a good website to show larger wind systems.
The safe wind directions for this harbour has been decided by an algorithm, based on how elevated the land around the harbour is. It's mostly correct, but sometimes the underlying data about elevation levels is not good enough to make correct decisions. It's a great help to other if you can validate or adjust the safe wind directions. You can see the data used by the algorithm to decide the safe wind directions by clicking here.
