Narrative

Estas rocas fueron cartografiadas por la Expedición Antártica Británica de 1828-1831, al mando del capitán de navío Henry Foster, RN, en el buque "Chanticleer", quien les puso el nombre por el apellido del teniente H.F. Austin, oficial de la expedición. En algunas cartas chilenas antiguas figuraron como rocas Agustín. Es un grupo de rocas que se extiende por 3 millas en dirección ENE-WSW, sobre el eje del estrecho Bransfield, a 15 millas al NW de la punta Cóndor de la isla Trinidad.
