A submarine bank on the Kerguelen Plateau 55 nautical miles NW from Heard Island. The bank is about 200 metres deep. The position has been fixed by echo sounding and GPS. It has been mapped by various survey vessels including the Eltanin, Cape Pillar, Professor Mesyatsev and RSV Aurora Australis.
RSV Aurora Australis worked extensively near Heard Island during 1990-93. The name also recognises the marine scientific work of SY Aurora on the AAE and Shackleton's 1914 expedition.
