Narrative

on W side of Iceberg Bay, S Coronation Island, was roughly charted by DI in 1933 (BA chart 1775, 17.viii.1934), when the name Useless Bay was applied probably to this feature (Tilley, 1935, map p.387 and p.388); surveyed by FIDS from Signy, 1948-49, and named Shingle Cove from the fine shingle on the landing beach on its S shore (APC, 1955, p.19; DOS 510 South Orkney Island, West Sheet, 1963); resurveyed by FIDS from Signy, 1956-58. In May 1962 a BAS refuge, known as "Shingle Hut", was established on the beach.
