Description
(see definition):
Small compact group of rocks, lying 5 mi W of Millerand Island in Marguerite Bay, off the W coast of Graham Land. First roughly surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill. The rocks were visited and resurveyed in 1949 by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), who established a sealing camp there. The name, proposed by Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), derives from the old sealers' term "pod," meaning a group of seals hauled ashore.
