Stina Rock

Stina Rock is a sea stack 108 feet high about 160 yards off Cape Pride, on the east side of the entrance to Elsehul on the north coast of South Georgia.

The rock was charted by Discovery Investigations in 1930 and named descriptively 'Pillar Rock'. Following the South Georgia Survey of 1951-52 it was re-named 'Stina Rock' after the buoy-boat (a former whale-catcher) the Stina, owned by the South Georgia Whaling Company, out of Leith Harbour.
