Group of 4 steep-sided rocks lying 1 mi N of Peake-Jones Rock in Holme Bay, Mac. Robertson Land. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936-37. So named by ANCA because Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) parties going W from Mawson Station on the sea ice always pass through or close to these rocks.
