Rime Crests

Rime Crests rise to 3,840 feet above sea level in the east of Coronation Island amongst the South Orkney Islands in the British Antarctic Territory.

Following survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Signy in 1948-49, the name 'Rime Peak' was applied to the highest of five crest-like summits, which are rime-covered with prominent ice bosses and fluted ice walls. Following further survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Signy in 1956-58, the name 'Rime Crests' was applied to the whole feature.
