submerged rocks W of Start Point, Livingston Island, were roughly charted in 1908-09 by August F. Christensen, Manager of the Vesterlid whaling expedition in that season, and named Svip Klippene after the whale catcher Svip, operating from Deception Island with the expedition (Aagaard, 1930, p.345). Svip Rock [sic] (BA chart 1238, xi.1910; 3205, 12.ii.1954). Rocher du Swip [sic], Rocher du Svip (Charcot, 1912, Pl.1, 11). Svip Rocks (BA, 1916, p.394; APC, 1955, p.20; BA chart 3205, 15.iii.1957). Svip Boen (HA chart, 1928). The rocks were not sighted during a running survey of the area by DI, 1930-31 (Carey and Nelson, 1931b). Roca Svip (Chile. DNH chart L, 1947). Rochers Svip (France. SHM chart 5452, 1951). Rocas Svip (Argentina. MM, 1953, p.224; Pierrou, 1970, p.678; Chile. IHA, 1974, p.271).

Group of submerged rocks reported to lie 9 mi WNW of Rugged Island, in the South Shetland Islands. The name seems first to appear on the charts of the FrAE, 1908-10, under Charcot. It probably derives from the Svip, a whale catcher operating in the area at that time. |
