Chorobates Rock (Bulgarian: скала Хоробат, romanized: skala Chorobates, IPA: [skɐˈla horoˈbat]) is the rock off the NW coast of northwest coast of Nelson Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica extending 83 m in south–north direction and 55 m in west–east direction. Its surface area is 0.25 ha. The vicinity was visited by early 19th century sealers.[1]
The feature is named after the chorobates, an ancient Roman device for measuring slopes; in association with other names in the area deriving from the early development or use of geodetic instruments and methods.
