Yato Rocks

Yato Rocks (Bulgarian: скали Ято, romanized: skali Yato, IPA: [skɐˈli ˈjato]) is the group of rocks lying in an aquatory of 25 ha that extends 780 m in west–east direction and 560 m in south–north 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 flock of birds in flight, 'yato' being the Bulgarian for 'bird flock', and in association with other descriptive names of islands in the area.

[1] Yato Rocks are centred at 64°58′05″S 64°00′15″W / 64.96806°S 64.00417°W / -64.96806; -64.00417, which is 5.27 km south of Host Island, 4.93 km west of Zherav Island, 2.11 km south of the midpoint of Vetrilo Rocks, and 3 km northeast of Kalmar Island in the Dannebrog Islands group.
