The Hydrurga Rocks are a group of cliff rocks in the Palmer Archipelago off the west coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . They are east of Two Hummock Island .
Aerial photographs of the rocks were taken during the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (1955–1957). The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1960 after the leopard seals ( Latin Hydrurga leptonyx ).
