The Saluta Rocks are two rocks, also known as 'Mutt and Jeff', rising 23 feet above sea-level half a mile north-west of Grassholm off the west end of South Georgia.
The rocks were charted by Discovery Investigations in 1926 and named Mutt & Jeff. Following the South Georgia Survey the rocks were named 'Saluta Rocks' after SS Saluta, a transport ship of the South Georgia Whaling Company for many years.
