Initially called Cathedral Rocks. Conspicuous ice-free rock pillars at the west side of lower Beardmore Glacier, 3.4km east of Mount Ida in the Queen Alexandra Range.
Discovered by BrAE (1907-09), and first named the "Cathedral Rocks," but changed later to avoid confusion with a feature of that name in the Royal Society Range.
