Mist Rocks

Mist Rocks (66°48′S 66°37′W / 66.8°S 66.617°W / -66.8; -66.617) is a group of insular rocks close northwest of Holdfast Point at the entrance to Lallemand Fjord, Graham Land. Mapped from air photos taken by Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (FIDASE) (1956–57). The name arose locally; the first Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) party sledging north from Detaille Island on August 21, 1956, fortuitously discovered these rocks while searching in the mist for a secure camp site.
