Surge Rocks

Surge Rocks

Surge Rocks (coord|64|47|S|64|4|W) is a group of five rocks, two always exposed, lying 0.1 miles southwest of Eichorst Island and 0.6 miles south-southeast of Bonaparte Point, Anvers Island. The name was suggested by Palmer Station personnel in 1972. Ocean swells working on the shoal surrounding these rocks, cause breaking and a "surge" of the water level in any weather condition.
