A passage leads between Cooper Island
and the mainland. It is straightforward if the Cooper Bay shore is
favoured. There are rocks off either shore and beds of kelp, but
there is plenty of room to tack through.
On the several occasions that we passed
through the Sound, the current usually ran eastwards.
To the W of Cooper Bay there is a colony
of Chinstrap penguins on the beach, the only one in South Georgia.
Further W on the hillside, is a very large colony of Macaroni
penguins.
