Pomona Plateau

Pomona Plateau is an ice cap between Deacon Hill and Sandefjord Peaks in the west of Coronation Island amongst the South Orkney Islands in the British Antarctic Territory.

The plateau rises to about 1,300 feet. It was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Signy in 1948-50, and so named in order to preserve the name which Weddell gave to the island: 'Pomona', which was a name once attributed to Mainland, the largest of the isles of Orkney.
