The Heed rock (of English heed , attention, attention ' ) is a very small and at times over washed up from the sea cliff rocks in the Wilhelm Archipelago off the west coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . In the group of the Wauwermans Islands , it is 1.5 km south of Brown Island .
The rock is first recorded on an Argentine map from 1950, but has not yet been named. A Royal Navy hydrographic unit carried out surveys between 1956 and 1957. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it that way in 1959 to emphasize its dangerousness for shipping.
