Ayerfjorden

Ayerfjorden is the western branch of Raudfjorden in Albert I Land at Spitsbergen, Svalbard. The glacier Chauveaubreen debouches into the fjord.

The fjord is named after American businessman Frederick Ayer (1822-1918), who started the company Arctic Coal jointly with John Munro Longyear.
