The Lodge Rock (from English lodge 'hut, cottage, country house' or English lodge 'deposit, deposit' ) is a cliff less than 30 m high in Marguerite Bay off the Fallières coast of West Antarctic Graham Land . In the Terra Firma Islands group, it rises between Barn Rock and Hayrick Island .
The first surveys of the archipelago were made by participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937) led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill . The rock was then measured by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1948 . It is named after a flat headland that served as a safe storage area from the sea ice .
