Elliott Rock lies awash off the north-west coast of Bird Island, in South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
The rock was named following the South Georgia Survey after Henry Wood Elliott (1846-1930), an American naturalist and pioneer of fur seal studies in the North Pacific; fur seals breed on Bird Island and Elliott stood for the protection of the species.
