rising 6 m above sea level W of Cape Evensen, Graham Coast. The name Banco Osorno, after a town in Chile, was applied by CAE, 1947, to the shoal area in this vicinity (Chile. DNH chart LII, 1947). The rocks were photographed from the air by FIDASE, 1956-57, and named Pesky Rocks, in reference to the rocks obstructing an otherwise clear ship passage (APC, 1959a, p.10; BA chart 3570, 29.ix.1961). Bajo Osorno (Chile. IHA, 1974, p.218).
