The Barrios Rocks ( Spanish Islote Barrios translated, Barrio islands ) are a group of small Rifffelsen off the west coast of North Graham Lands of the Antarctic Peninsula . They are located 1.5 km west of the Toro Point of the Trinity Peninsula and just as far southwest of the Kopaitic Island in the group of Duroch Islands in front of the entrance to Huon Bay .
Participants in the Second Chilean Antarctic Expedition (1947–1948) named them after General Guillermo Barrios Tirado (1893–1952), then supreme commander of the Chilean armed forces. Aerial photographs of this object show three small and adjacent reef rocks.
