Sven Rock (63°44′S 60°11′W) is a rock lying south of Oluf Rocks in Gilbert Strait, in the Palmer Archipelago. Photographed by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (FIDASE) in 1955-57 and mapped from these photos by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1960 after the Danish freighter Oluf Sven (Captain J.C. Ryge) which transported the FIDASE to Deception Island in 1955 and 1956, and was used during the two summers as a mobile base for operations by ground survey parties.
