Place ID: 12694
three peaks running NW-SE between Fulmar Bay and Pomona Plateau, W Coronation Island, the highest rising to 635m. Following survey by DI in 1933, the SE-most and lowest of these peaks was named Sandefjord Peak in association with Sandefjord Bay (q.v.) to the NW (Marr, 1935, Pl.12 and 17). The peaks were further surveyed by FIDS from Signy in 1950, and the name Sandefjord Peaks was applied to all three (APC, 1955, p.18; DOS 510 South Orkney Islands, West Sheet, 1963). |
