Heleysundet ((英語:Heley Sound)) is a narrow sound between Kükenthaløya and Spitsbergen. It is known for its violent tidal races. Heleysundet was discovered (and named) by the 60-ton ship ''John Ellis'' in 1617, which had been sent out by the Muscovy Company to explore to the south-eastwards of Spitsbergen. The sound was named after the Englishman William Heley (b. 1594/95), a supercargo and vice-admiral of the English whaling fleet from 1617 to 1623. ==References== *Conway, W. M. 1906.
