Chevron Rocks

Chevron Rocks (84°7′S 173°10′E / 84.117°S 173.167°E / -84.117; 173.167Coordinates: 84°7′S 173°10′E / 84.117°S 173.167°E / -84.117; 173.167) is a distinctive rock outcrop at the north end of Retrospect Spur, near the head of Hood Glacier in the Queen Maud Mountains. A New Zealand party climbed Retrospect Spur during the 1959–60 season. They gave the name Chevron Rocks because of their appearance, resembling the stripes worn by non-commissioned officers.
