The Pesky Rocks (English for Annoying Rocks ) are a small group of cliff rocks off the Graham Coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . They are 5.5 km west of Cape Evensen before the entrance to Auvert Bay .
They are shown for the first time on a Chilean map from 1947. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named them because they represent the only obstacle on an otherwise free shipping route along the Graham Coast.
