From Alpefjord in the morning, we sailed to nearby Gateau Point for the afternoon.   If I correctly identify where this is, I think it’s near the mouth of Segelsällskapets Fjord, not far from Karlene Island.

Anthropomorphic, it seems to me but just a natural rock assemblage.

You can also clearly see the layers in the strata of the surrounding cliffs.
