Eden Rocks

A small island was reported there on 30 December 1842 by Captain James Clark Ross of the Royal Navy, who named it "Eden Island" for Captain Charles Eden.

Following a survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1953, it was reported that the feature consists of two rocky islets rising to about 90 m in height and lying close together.

[1] An 73 ha site, comprising the rocks and the intervening sea, has been identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports a large breeding colony of about 45,000 pairs of Adélie penguins.
