Names that other countries have for this feature:
Group of small islands and rocks lying 0.25 mi SW of Balin Point in the NW part of Borge Bay, Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. The name Thule Rocks was used as early as 1916, and appears to refer at least in part to this group. The whales at sea, belonged to the Thule Whaling Co. of Oslo. It operated in the South Orkney Islands in 1912-13 and 1913-14 and anchored on the E side of Signy Island during January 1913. The altered form of the name was recommended by the UK-APC following a survey by the FIDS in 1947.
