The Sunset Fjord ( English for Sunset Fjord ) is a side bay in the southwest corner of the Bay of Isles on the north coast of South Georgia .
The American ornithologist Robert Cushman Murphy mapped it on his voyage with the brig Daisy (1912-1913) and named the bay so because the sun sets just behind the bay at the time of Murphy's mapping .
