The Beaver Rocks (63°40′S 59°21′W / 63.667°S 59.350°W / -63.667; -59.350) are a group of rocks lying 2 nautical miles (4 km) off Belitsa Peninsula at a point midway between Notter Point and Cape Kjellman, Trinity Peninsula. They were named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after the de Havilland Beaver, a type of aircraft used by the British Antarctic Survey.[1]
