Names that other countries have for this feature:
Twin rocky promontories on the western side of Watt Bay, 3 mi south of Garnet Point. Discovered by the AAE (1911-14) under Douglas Mawson, who gave the name because of the large Cape pigeon rookery here. The US-ACAN has added a hyphen between the first and second words in the specific part of the name to reduce ambiguity and emphasize the generic term "Rocks."
