Dragons Teeth (63°15′S 58°39′W / 63.250°S 58.650°W / -63.250; -58.650) are a small group of rocks rising to c. 100 m off Kanarata Point, the northeast extremity of Astrolabe Island, off Trinity Peninsula in Antarctica. They were photographed from the air and surveyed from the ground by FIDASE, 1955–57. The name, applied by UK-APC, is descriptive of these black tooth-shaped rocks.
