The Chabrier Rock ( French Roche Chabrier ) is a rocky island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It is located 800 m southwest of Vauréal Peak on the east side of the entrance to Admiralty Bay from King George Island .
Participants in the Fifth French Antarctic Expedition (1908–1910) led by polar explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot mapped the rock in December 1909. It is probably named after the French neurologist Joseph François Chabrier, a contemporary of Charcot's father Jean-Martin Charcot . Since 1929 the island has been listed on British maps under its English name.
