Description (see definition): 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 Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). The name given by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) arose because the bulk of moulting elephant seals on Signy Island wallow here in the summer.
