Vetrilo Rocks (Bulgarian: скали Ветрило, romanized: skali Vetrilo, IPA: [skɐˈli vɛˈtriɫo]) is the group of rocks lying in an aquatory of 27 ha that extends 970 m in west-southwest to east-northeast direction and 485 m in south-southeast to north-northwest direction in the Wauwermans Islands group of Wilhelm Archipelago in the Antarctic Peninsula region. Their surface area is 27 ha.[1]
The feature is so named because of its shape supposedly resembling a hand fan ('vetrilo' in Bulgarian), and in association with other descriptive names of islands in the area.[1]
