Jagged Rocks

The Jagged Rocks (63°24′S 56°59′W) are a group of rocks lying near the center of Hut Cove in the eastern part of Hope Bay, at the northeast end of the Antarctic Peninsula. First charted in 1903 by a party under J. Gunner Andersson of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, they were given this descriptive name by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1945.[1]
