Everything about The Clerke Rocks totally explained
The
Clerke Rocks are a group of small rocky
islands 74 kilometres (46 mile) southeast of
South Georgia Island that extend 8 kilometre (5 mile) from east to west. The Clerke Rocks include The Office Boys (
Spanish:
Los Mandaderos) at the northeastern end and Nobby (Spanish:
Islote Llamativo or
Roca Notable) at the southeastern end of the group. The islands belong to the
British overseas territory of
South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands and are also claimed by
Argentina as part of
Tierra del Fuego Province.
The islands were discovered in 1775 by a British expedition under Captain
James Cook, who named them for
Charles Clerke, an officer on
HMS Resolution, who first saw the rocks.
Like the
Shag Rocks,
cormorants make up a large part of the bird population.
