Small rock outcrop about 1 mi SE of Rock X, protruding above the coastal ice at the E side of Victor Bay. Photographed from the air by USN Operation HighJump, 1946-47. Charted by the FrAE, 1952-53, and so named by them because of its resemblance to Gravenoire, the name of a puy or dome-shaped hill overlooking the city of Clermont-Ferrand, which lies in the chain of extinct volcanoes forming the Monts d'Auvergne of central France.
