Oluf Rocks

Oluf Rocks (63°41′S 60°10′W / 63.683°S 60.167°W / -63.683; -60.167) is a small group of rocks lying 3.5 nautical miles (6 km) east of Cape Neumayer, Trinity Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. Photographed by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (FIDASE) in 1955-57 and mapped from these photos by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1960 after the Danish freighter Oluf Sven (Captain J.C. Ryge) which transported the FIDASE to Deception Island in 1955 and 1956, and was used during the two summer seasons as a mobile base for operations by ground survey parties.
