Brahms Inlet

The Brahms Inlet is an ice-filled inlet 25 nautical miles long and 6 nautical miles wide, indenting the north side of Beethoven Peninsula on Alexander Island between the Harris Peninsula and thr Derocher Peninsula. The headland named Mazza Point lies immediately northeast of the inlet and Mount Grieg lies immediately southeast of the base of Brahms Inlet.

This inlet was observed from the air and first mapped by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition of 1947–48, and re-mapped from the RARE air photos by Derek J.H. Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1960.

The inlet was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Johannes Brahms, the German composer; one of numerous features in the south of the island named after composers or their works.
