Minerva Rocks

The Minerva Rocks (63°53′S 60°37′W) are a small group of rocks lying off Chionis Island near Trinity Island, in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. They were so named by whalers because the Minerva, one of the whale catchers of the British factory ship Pythia, went aground on these rocks in March 1922. The catcher was abandoned and, because of the heavy swell, became a total wreck.
