Vetrilo Rocks
# Vetrilo Rocks

Vetrilo Rocks (Bulgarian: скали Ветрило, romanized: skali Vetrilo, IPA:) 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.

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.
