The Black Rock ( English for Black Rock ) is a reef rock in the South Atlantic . It is 16 km southeast of the Shag Rocks and around 170 km west-northwest of South Georgia .
The crew of the Spanish ship Aurora in 1762 probably assigned this rock to the group of islands they called the Aurora Islands . In 1927 he was charted by scientists from the British Discovery Investigations from the ship RRS William Scoresby .
