The group of rocks lying in an aquatory of 27 ha that extends 970 m in WSW-ENE direction and 485 m in SSE-NNW direction in the Wauwermans Islands group of Wilhelm Archipelago in the Antarctic Peninsula region. Centred 3.18 km S of Host Island, 5.55 km WNW of Zherav Island, 2.11 km N of the midpoint of Yato Rocks, and 4.7 km NE of Kalmar Island in the Dannebrog Islands group.
So named because of its shape supposedly resembling a hand fan ('vetrilo' in Bulgarian), and in association with other descriptive names of islands in the area.
