The Hamna Icefall ( Japanese ハ ム ナ 氷瀑 Hamuna-hyōbaku ) is a glacier break on the Prince Harald Coast of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It flows east of Hamnenabben into the southern end of Hamna Bay .
Aerial photographs and measurements of the Japanese Antarctic expedition , which was carried out from 1957 to 1962 and whose scientists gave the name in 1963, were used to map it. Its name is based on the naming of the bay Hamna ( Norwegian for port ).
