Boyer Rocks

The Boyer Rocks (63°35′S 59°0′W) are a small group of rocks in the northeast corner of Bone Bay, 3 nautical miles (6 km) southwest of Cape Roquemaurel, Trinity Peninsula. The rocks were mapped from surveys by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (1960–61), and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Joseph Boyer, a French naval officer on the Astrolabe during her Antarctic voyage (1837–40).[1]
