Eden Rocks
The Eden Rocks are two rocks lying 1.5 km off the east coast of Dundee Island, at the northern end of the Antarctic Peninsula. A small island was reported there on 30 December 1842 by Captain James Clark Ross of the Royal Navy, who named it "Eden Island" for Captain Charles Eden. Following a survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1953, it was reported that the feature consists of two rocky islets rising to about 90 m in height and lying close together.An 81 ha site, comprising the rocks and the intervening sea, has been identified as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International because it supports a large breeding colony of about 45,000 pairs of Adélie penguins.
