Narrative

Low-lying area 0.3 mi S of Berry Head in the NE part of Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. The area is sheltered by low ridges on all sides and has a small freshwater pond in the center. Roughly surveyed in 1933 by DI personnel and resurveyed in 1947 by the FIDS. The name given by the FIDS arose because the bulk of moulting elephant seals on Signy Island wallow here in the summer.
