The Bryde Rocks (54°1′S 38°16′W) are a small group of rocks 1 nautical mile (2 km) west-southwest of the south end of Main Island, off the west end of South Georgia. Positioned by the South Georgia Survey in the period 1951–57, the group was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Thorleif Bryde, a gunner of the South Georgia Whaling Co, Leith Harbour, for several years beginning in 1952.
