West Skerry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
West Skerry () is a small group of islands and rocks forming the west part of Skrap Skerries, lying 2 miles (3.2 km) east of Barff Point off the north coast of South Georgia. The name appears on a chart based upon a survey of this area by DI personnel in the period 1926-30, but it may reflect an earlier naming by whalers.
"Skerry" is a Lowland Scots word for "reef"
