Nature
Coronation Glacier lies on southeastern Baffin Island in Nunavut, Canada, along the northeast coast of the Cumberland Peninsula. It is an outlet glacier of the Penny Ice Cap, carrying ice from that larger ice mass toward the coast. In the mid-20th century, it underwent a recorded change when it lost its connection to Elena Glacier sometime between 1943 and 1949. That separation forms part of the broader history of changing Arctic ice on Baffin Island.
