The Barros Rocks (65°17′S 64°12′W / 65.283°S 64.200°W / -65.283; -64.200) are a group of rocks between the Berthelot Islands and the Argentine Islands, lying 2 nautical miles (4 km) southwest of Cape Tuxen off the west coast of Graham Land. They were discovered by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908–10, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, and named after Captain Barros Cobra, a Brazilian naval officer at Rio de Janeiro, who assisted the expedition.[1]
