Drury Rock (52°56′S 73°35′E / 52.933°S 73.583°E) is a rock, about 37 m high, lying 0.3 nautical miles (0.6 km) south-southeast of Shag Island and 6 nautical miles (11 km) north of Heard Island. This rock, though positioned several miles too far westward, appears to have been first shown on an 1860 sketch map compiled by Captain H.C. Chester, American sealer operating in the area during this period. It was more accurately charted on an 1874 chart by a British expedition under Nares in the for Alan Campbell-Drury, radio operator and photographer with the party.
