West of the 1598-metre high Mount George, it falls about 150 m deep into the head end of the fiord. It is named after Helene Brasch, the eldest daughter of Willi Fels, a merchant, collector and philanthropist from Halle in Lower Saxony. The waterfall is accessible via the Helena Falls Track, a 2 km return trail.
Helena Falls is a waterfall in the Fiordland National Park in New Zealand that empties into Doubtful Sound. A walking track from the road end at Doubtful Sound goes to the base of the waterfall. They are named after Helene Fels (1882–1914), the mother of the poet Charles Brasch.
