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). |

Three conical peaks, the highest 635 m, marking the SW end of Pomona Plateau at the W end of Coronation Island, in the South Orkney Islands. The southernmost of these peaks was named Sandefjord Peak after nearby Sandefjord Bay by DI personnel in 1933. The collective name, Sandefjord Peaks, was recommended by the UK-APC following a survey of the peaks by the FIDS in 1950. |
