Coronation Island Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in southeastern Alaska, United States.

Coronation Island spans 19,232 acres of temperate rainforest with Sitka spruce and western hemlock extending down to steep coastal cliffs.

George Vancouver named this island on September 22, 1793, marking the 33rd anniversary of King George III's coronation.

The Henyakwan Tlingit people used Egg Harbor as a base camp while collecting bird eggs from the nearby Hazy Islands.

Access to the island requires transportation by floatplane or small boat during favorable weather conditions, as no developed facilities exist.

The Colander Cave, discovered in 2001, contains brown bear fossils dating back more than 11,000 years.
