Laursen, David W. Townsend, John Christensen, Somes Sound: Fjord or Well-Mixed Estuary?, Northeastern Naturalist, Vol. 35-44 Considered the only true fjord on the North American east coast, Somes Sound begins its dramatic 6-mile cleavage into the heart of Mount Desert Island at the busy channel off Clark Point, the tip of the peninsula that separates Southwest Harbor from the sound. Part C, Oceans and Atmospheres 90 (6): 11. ; McCrae, S.

Ocean swells drop astern and dramatic cliffs plunge into the deep water. Barbin*, Annette K. Kistner, Gayle P. Somes Sound, chiseled out by glaciers thousands of years ago, amongst the rugged Maine coastline, is an elongated submerged ocean valley surrounded by steep cliffs that nearly bisects Mount Desert Island. 1977: Incubation experiments with dinoflagellate cysts from somes sound maine Other settlers followed. Somes Sound is a large and deep body of water located in the lower mid-section of Mount Desert Island, Maine, whose cavity was formed from past glacier activity. It is connected to the ocean among the many mountains of Mount Desert Island, all formed by glaciers 360 million years. The sound almost splits the island in two. Regional artists, of very high quality, are displayed along with exceptional furniture from nationally recognized makers. Most contain <5% CaCO3 except in the lo.
