The Bella Coola Fiord
Fiords are steep-sided arms of the ocean where mountains meet the sea. The Bella Colla fiord - called North Bentinck Arm - extends several kilometres west before connecting with other channels meeting the open ocean.

The Fiord at bella Coola in 1938, showing the government wharf, B.C. Packers buildings, and logs stored in the estuary at the log dump. The wharf and log dump are now farther out the fiord as silt has filled in the estuary.
Sign 6 is located farther along the wharf road - past the old cabin, which has survived many snowslides, and an abondoned log dump.
