The Pigmy rock (basically translated from English dwarf rock ) is a cliff rocks in Marguerite Bay before Fallières Coast of the West Antarctic Graham Lands . It's just off the southwest side of Alamode Island at the southern end of the Terra Firma Islands .
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 and descriptively named for its size.
