Departure Rocks
The Departure Rocks are a group of 4 steep-sided rocks lying north of Peake-Jones Rock in Holme Bay, Mac. [Robertson Land]. They were mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and were so named by the Antarctic [Names Committee of Australia] because Australian [National Antarctic Research Expeditions] parties going west from Mawson Station on the sea ice always pass through or close to these rocks.
