Mirounga Flats

Mirounga Flats (60°42′S 45°36′W / 60.7°S 45.6°W / -60.7; -45.6) is a small partially enclosed tidal area in the inner, northwestern corner of Borge Bay, Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. Its east limit is formed by the Thule Islands; its north and west limits by Signy Island. The tidal area dries at low water. Roughly surveyed in 1933 by DI personnel. Resurveyed in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), and so named by them because elephant seals the moulting period.
