Avalanche Corrie

Avalanche Corrie is a corrie on the south coast of Coronation Island amongst the South Orkney Islands in the British Antarctic Territory, to the north of Amphibolite Point.

This feature was named following a survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Signy in 1948-49, and was so named because of the frequent avalanches from the hanging glaciers above the corrie.
