Marker Rock

Marker Rock (66°5′S 65°47′W / 66.083°S 65.783°W / -66.083; -65.783) is a rock lying 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) north-northwest of Turnabout Island in the Saffery Islands, off the west coast of Graham Land. Charted by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill, 1934-37. So named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1959 because it marks the ships' passage through the Saffery Islands.
