Triznatsi Rocks (Bulgarian: скали Тризнаци, romanized: skali Triznatsi, IPA: [skɐˈli triˈznat͡si]) is the group of three adjacent rocks off the northwest coast of Nelson Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica extending 144 m in west–east direction and 122 m in south–north direction. Their surface areas are 0.33 ha, 0.17 ha and 0.14 ha respectively. The vicinity was visited by early 19th century sealers.[1]
The rocks are so named because of their configuration, 'triznatsi' being the Bulgarian for 'triplets.'
Triznatsi Rocks are centred at 62°15′49″S 59°11′39″W / 62.26361°S 59.19417°W[2] and situated 325 m northwest of Smilets Point, 1.83 km east of Folger Rock and 485 m south-southwest of Meldia Rock. British mapping in 1968.
