The Covey Rocks (of English covey , flock, flock, group ' ) are a small group of six Rifffelsen before the Loubet coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . They are located in the Laubeuf Fjord halfway between Piñero Island and Cape Sáenz .
Participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934-1937), led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill , made a rough map of the rocks in 1936. The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey carried out surveys in 1948 and named them because of their resemblance to a flock (or chain) of partridges in a field.
