Photos of the Coronation Island<\/a>, South Orkney Islands<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

We arrive at Coronation Island, the largest of the South Orkney Islands, around dawn. This is our first opportunity to really see some impressive icebergs<\/a> at close range. While we are here to visit Shingle Cove<\/a>, the approach to the island on its own is magnificent. Coronation Island<\/a> is largely covered in snow and glaciers, with mountainous slopes and jagged peaks, reaching 4,153′ above sea levels at its summit. It is really a rugged place.<\/p>\n
