Narrative

Island at the E side of the entrance to Iceberg Bay, along the S coast of Coronation Island in the South Orkney Islands. The name "Reidholmen" appears in this location for a small group of islands on a chart drawn by Capt. Petter Sorlle in 1912-13. Survey by the FIDS in 1948-49 determined that only a single island exists.
