Signehamna

Signehamna is a bay and natural harbour in Albert I Land at Spitsbergen, Svalbard. It is located at the western side of Lilliehöökfjorden. The bay has a width and length of about one nautical mile. The headland Gunnarpynten in the middle of the bay, which separates Signehamna from Nilspollen, created a suitable harbour for smaller vessels.{{cite web |url=http://placenames.npolar.no/stadnamn/Signehamna |title=Signehamna (Svalbard) |publisher=Norwegian Polar Institute |accessdate=29 June 2013}}{{cite book |title=Arctic Pilot: Sailing directions Svalbard–Jan Mayen |year=1988 | volume =7 |publisher=The Norwegian Hydrographic Service and The Norwegian Polar Institute |location=Stavanger |language= |isbn=82-90653-06-9 |page=265 }}
