Diaz Rock

Diaz Rock is the largest of several rocks lying 1 km north by west of Raduil Point, the northwest end of Astrolabe Island, off Trinity Peninsula in Antarctica. The rock was surveyed from the ground and photographed from the air by FIDASE, 1955-57. The name was given by the first Chilean Antarctic Expedition (1947) for sub-lieutenant Joaquin Diaz Martinez.
