The Burt Rocks are a rock formation on the Oates Coast in East Antarctica Victoria Land . In the Wilson Hills they rise 2.5 km south of the Axthelm Ridge on the western edge of the Noll Glacier .
The United States Geological Survey mapped them on the basis of their own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1961 to 1964. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1970 after DeVere E. Burt (* 1941), biologist of the United States Antarctic Research Program at the Hallett Station from 1968 to 1969.
