Colesdalen

Colesdalen is a valley in Nordenskiöld Land at Spitsbergen, Svalbard. The valley debouches into the bay Colesbukta, at the southern side of Isfjorden.[1]

Colesdalen is located north of the Nordenskiöld Land National Park, but not included in the park, due to mining interests.[2]

The river Coleselva flows through the valley.[3]
