Vetrilo Rocks

Vetrilo Rocks (Bulgarian: скали Ветрило, romanized: skali Vetrilo, IPA: [skɐˈli vɛˈtriɫo]) is the group of rocks lying in an aquatory of 27 ha that extends 970 m in west-southwest to east-northeast direction and 485 m in south-southeast to north-northwest direction in the Wauwermans Islands group of Wilhelm Archipelago in the Antarctic Peninsula region.

[1] The feature is so named because of its shape supposedly resembling a hand fan ('vetrilo' in Bulgarian), and in association with other descriptive names of islands in the area.

[1] Vetrilo Rocks are centred at 64°56′57″S 64°00′26″W / 64.94917°S 64.00722°W / -64.94917; -64.00722, which is 3.18 km south of Host Island, 5.55 km west-northwest of Zherav Island, 2.11 km north of the midpoint of Yato Rocks, and 4.7 km northeast of Kalmar Island in the Dannebrog Islands group.
