The Chijire Rocks ( English ; Japanese ち じ れ 岩 Chijire-iwa , German ' Kruselte Felsen' ; Norwegian Rukkenutane ) are a rock formation on the Crown Prince Olav coast of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . They rise immediately to the west of the mouth of the Chijire Glacier .
Japanese cartographers mapped them using surveys and aerial photographs of the Japanese Antarctic expedition, which lasted from 1957 to 1962 . The designation took place in 1963. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names transferred the designation in 1964 in a partial translation into English.
