The Matsuyama Rocks are a group of cliff rocks off the Loubet coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . In Crystal Sound they are located on the west side of the Stefan Piedmont Glacier .
Aerial photographs of the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition from 1956 to 1957 were used to map them. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named them in 1960 after the Japanese geologist and geophysicist Motonori Matsuyama (1884-1958) from the University of Kyoto , who had dealt with the structure of ice crystals .
