Parpen Crags

Parpen Crags surrounded by steep ice slopes and rising to about 1,650 feet stand at head of Norway Bight on Coronation Island amongst the South Orkney Islands in the British Antarctic Territory.

The crags were surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Signy in 1948-50, and named descriptively, a parpen being a mason's term for a stone passing through the thickness of a wall.
