Mission Rock (67°49′S 68°25′W / 67.817°S 68.417°W) is a low-lying rock lying southwest of the Guebriant Islands, off the south end of Adelaide Island. Surveyed by the Royal Navy Hydrographic Survey Unit, 1962-63. So named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1963 because of the rock's proximity to Guebriant Islands, which were named for the French missionary Father Guebriant.
