The Tenorio Rock (in Chile Islote Tenorio and Islote Aviador Tenorio ) is a cliff rock in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . In Discovery Bay on Greenwich Island, it rises 600 m from the shore.
Participants of the 1st Chilean Antarctic Expedition (1946–1947) named him after Humberto Tenorio Iturra, who was the pilot of a Sikorsky helicopter on this research trip . The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee transferred the Spanish name in 1971 in an adapted form into English.
