This is shown diagrammatically in Fig. Fig. 68. Effect of north-easterly wind on currents in Nelson Strait. The south-west going stream on the northern side of the islands has a tendency to flow southwards down the various straits, just as the north-east setting current in the main Bransfield Strait has also a tendency to pass through the individual small straits but in a contrary direction. Both currents then meet outside the narrow straits on the.
