The Stipple Rocks (English for Tüpfelfelsen ) are a compact group of more than 20 clip rocks before Fallières coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . In Marguerite Bay they are 5 km northwest of Millerand Island .
Participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937), led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill , carried out the first measurements in 1936, which scientists of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1949 completed. The latter also made the descriptive naming.
