group of three rocks between Shortcut Island and Cormorant Island, ESE of Arthur Harbour, S Anvers Island, were charted by an RN Hydrographic Survey Unit, 1956-58; following the work of USARP personnel from "Palmer Station" from 1965, so named because the rocks provide a series of small-boat refuges for parties working between the station and Biscoe Bay (APC, 1975, p.5). |

Three prominent rocks lying 0.5 mi N of Limitrophe Island, off the SW coast of Anvers Island. The rocks form one of a series of small boat refuges for parties working between nearby Palmer Station and Biscoe Bay, and therefore form "stepping stones" for coastal trips. Named by Palmer Station personnel in 1972. |
