East Skerry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

East Skerry (54°15′S, 36°18′W) is a small group of islands and rocks forming the east part of Skrap Skerries, lying 2 miles (3.2 km) northwest of Cape George, off the north coast of South Georgia. The name was applied in the period 1926-30 by DI personnel who charted these islands.

"Skerry" is a Lowland Scots word for a reef.
