Two low rocks lying in Maxwell Bay 2 mi E of the SW end of King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands. The name appears to have been given by DI personnel on the Discovery II who charted the rocks in 1935. Tu is apparently phonetic for two. |

El nombre fue dado por la Investigación Discovery en 1935. Son dos rocas separadas por 16 cables una de la otra, situadas a 8 cables al ESE de la península Ardley de la isla Rey Jorge de las islas Shetland del Sur. Las rocas alcanzan una altura de 6 y 1,5 metros respectivamente. Debido a sus pequeñas dimensiones, son difíciles de avistar y por consiguiente peligrosas. |
