Pup Rock

Pup Rock (68°22′S 67°3′W) is a rock about 200 m (660 ft) in diameter, between Refuge Islands and Tiber Rocks in Rymill Bay, off the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. It was discovered by geologist Robert L. Nichols of the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) of 1947–48, who called it "Three Pup Island". The name was later shortened.
