Surge Rocks

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Surge Rocks ( 64°47′S, 64°4′W) is a group of five rocks, two always exposed, lying 0.1 miles southwest of Eichorst Island and 0.6 miles south-southeast of Bonaparte Point, Anvers Island. The name was suggested by Palmer Station personnel in 1972. Ocean swells working on the shoal surrounding these rocks, cause breaking and a "surge" of the water level in any weather condition.
