Elephant Flats

Elephant Flats form the western entrance point of Cemetery Bay on the coast of Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands in the British Antarctic Territory.

The flats were surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Signy in 1947 and so named because elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) haul out on these flats.
