Spindrift Rocks

Spindrift Rocks (60°42′S 45°40′W) is a group of ice-free rocks, 15 m high, lying 0.75 nautical miles (1.4 km) southwest of North Point and close to the west coast of Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands. Surveyed and named in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). The name is descriptive of the spindrift, or sea spray, which forms over these rocks during westerly gales.
