The Cruiser Rocks are a group of reef rocks in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . They are 11 km south of Cape Lindsey from Elephant Island .
The reef rocks have been known to seal hunters since at least 1822 and are recorded under the name Cruisers Maps from this time. The further naming background has not been passed down. Scientists from the British Discovery Investigations carried out measurements between 1935 and 1937, which had been established since then.
