The Lumus rock is a cliff rocks in the Wilhelm Archipelago off the Graham Coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It lies 6 km west-northwest of Sooty Rock and marks the southwestern extension of the archipelago.
Participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934-1937) discovered it and named it Lumus Reef after the cat Lumus , one of several cats on this expedition, some of which had survived the Antarctic winter. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee made an adaptation of the naming in 1971 to reflect the actual nature of the geographic object.
