Triznatsi Rocks (bg|скали Тризнаци|skali Triznatsi, pronounced as /bg/) is the group of three adjacent rocks off the northwest coast of Nelson Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica extending 144 m in west–east direction and 122 m in south–north direction. Their surface areas are 0.33 ha, 0.17 ha and 0.14 ha respectively. The vicinity was visited by early 19th century sealers.[1]
The rocks are so named because of their configuration, 'triznatsi' being the Bulgarian for 'triplets.'
Triznatsi Rocks are centred at -62.2636°N -59.1942°W[2] and situated 325 m northwest of Smilets Point, 1.83 km east of Folger Rock and 485 m south-southwest of Meldia Rock. British mapping in 1968.
