Pingvin Rocks (Bulgarian: скали Пингвин, ‘Skali Pingvin’ \ska-'li ping-'vin\) is the group of rocks in Morton Strait off the northeast coast of Snow Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica extending 670 m in west–east direction and 300 m in south–north direction. The area was visited by early 19th-century sealers.
The rocks are “named after the ocean fishing trawler Pingvin of the Bulgarian company Ocean Fisheries – Burgas whose ships operated in the waters of South Georgia, Kerguelen, the South Orkney Islands, South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula from 1970 to the early 1990s. The Bulgarian fishermen, along with those of the Soviet Union, Poland and East Germany are the pioneers of modern Antarctic fishing industry.”[1] "Pingvin" means "penguin" in Bulgarian.
