Elephant Rocks

Elephant Rocks are three off-shore rocks on the west side of Arthur Harbour, on the coat of Anvers Island, part of the Palmer Archipelago of the British Antarctic Territory.

Following the work of the United States Antarctic Research Program personnel from 'Palmer Station' from 1965, the rocks were so named from the elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) that frequent the rocks.
