The Walker Rocks are a group of high ledges not far from the Scott Coast in East Antarctica Victoria Land . They rise 5 km southwest of Mount Murray near the mouth of the Mawson Glacier into the Ross Sea over a length of 5 km.
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1964 after Carson B. Walker, a plumber at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in 1961.
