Svip Rocks
Svip Rocks is a group of submerged rocks reported to lie 9 nautical miles west-northwest of Rugged Island (South [Shetland Islands)|Rugged Island], in the South Shetland Islands. The name seems first to appear on the charts of the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908–10, under Charcot. It probably derives from the Svip, a whale catcher operating in the area at that time.
