Yato Rocks (Bulgarian: скали Ято, romanized: skali Yato, IPA: [skɐˈli ˈjato]) is the group of rocks lying in an aquatory of 25 ha that extends 780 m in west–east direction and 560 m in south–north direction in the Wauwermans Islands group of Wilhelm Archipelago in the Antarctic Peninsula region. Their surface area is 25 ha.[1]
The feature is so named because of its shape supposedly resembling a flock of birds in flight, 'yato' being the Bulgarian for 'bird flock', and in association with other descriptive names of islands in the area.[1]
