Breakwater Rocks

Breakwater Rocks (54°12′S 36°35′W) are a group of rocks extending across the south part of the entrance to Boat Harbour in Jason Harbour, South Georgia. The name The Breakwater was probably given by Lieutenant Commander J.M. Chaplin, Royal Navy, during his survey of Jason Harbour in 1929. The South Georgia Survey, 1956–57, reported that the name is misleading; the rocks are not in a continuous straight line forming a natural breakwater, but are in a group. The name was therefore altered to "Breakwater Rocks" by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1957.
