Indian Rocks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Indian Rocks () is a group of rocks in Hero Bay, lying east of Wood Island off the north coast of Livingston Island, in the South Shetland Islands. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1958 after the sealer Indian (Captain Spiller) of Liverpool, which visited the South Shetland Islands in 1820-21 and brought back some of the crew of the wrecked Cora from nearby Desolation Island.
