Grindle Rock

Grindle Rock rises to 705 feet above sea-level off Bristol Island in the South Sandwich Islands., lying between Wilson Rock and the island's Turmoil Point. It is one of the small group known as the Freezland Rocks, from the neighbouring rock named by Captain James Cook.

The rock was charted by Discovery Investigations in 1930 and named after Sir Gilbert Edward Augustine Grindle (1869-1934), Deputy to Permanent Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies, 1925-31.
