Map of Disenchantment Bay
'Disenchantment Bay' extends southwest for 16 km (10 mi) from the mouth of
Russell Fiord to
Point Latouche, at the head of
Yakutat Bay in
Alaska.
Named "Puerto del Desengano", Spanish for "bay of disenchantment", by Captain
Alessandro Malaspina in 1792, upon finding that the bay did not provide a hoped-for passage to the
Atlantic. He sailed up the bay as far as
Haenke Island, before discovering the passage blocked by ice.
