Beaumont Skerries

The Beaumont Skerries lie to the east of the Joubin Islands, off the south-west of Anvers Island in the Palmer Archipelago of the British Antarctic Territory.

These rocks were charted by a Royal Navy Hydrographic Survey Unit in the 1956-58 season. Following American field work from Palmer Station from 1965 they were named after Malcolm J. Beaumont, electronic technician in US Research Vessel Hero 1968-69.
