The Fringe Rocks (for English Saumfelsen ) are a group Rifffelsen before the Loubet coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . They form the western edge of the Saffery Islands .
Participants of the British Graham Land Expedition (1934-1937) led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill mapped them. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named them in 1959 after their geographical position on the edge of a ship passage between the Safferty and Trump Islands .
