The Clemence Fjord ( Norwegian Broknesdalen ) is a side bay of Prydz Bay on the Ingrid Christensen coast of the East Antarctic Princess Elisabeth Land . In the Larsemann Hills it extends northwest-southeast between Fisher Island and the song Promontory .
Norwegian cartographers, who also called it a valley, mapped it in 1946 using aerial photographs from the Lars Christensen expedition in 1936/37 . Australian cartographers carried out a new mapping. The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) named him in 1988 after Peter Hugh Clemence (* 1925), squadron leader of the Royal Australian Air Force for Antarctic flights from Mawson Station in 1957.
