The Bizeux Rock ( French Rocher Bizeux ) is a 150 m long island off the coast of the East Antarctic Adélieland . It is located 150 m east of the Île des Manchots and immediately northeast of Cape Margerie .
Participants in a French Antarctic expedition named the island as part of a mapping in 1950 after the island of Rocher de Bizeux in the Rance estuary in Brittany . The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names translated the French name into English in 1962.
