The locations were collected with hand-held Garmin GPS. The point data do not reflect the boundaries of all wallows, the largest of which are Old Wallow and Davis Beach wallow. Results from a February 2007 survey of the Vestfold Hills coastline and offshore islands for used and disused southern elephant seal wallows. The data here are point locations of the wallows, not the extents or boundaries of the wallows. The table below gives the coordinates (decimal degrees) for the elephant seal wallows found, their unofficial names and the wallow status as used or disused at the time of survey.
