Nigg Rock
Nigg Rock is an insular rock, 165 m high, lying 0.5 nautical miles northwest of Route Point, the northwest tip of Laurie Island in the South Orkney Islands. It is between the Mackenzie Peninsula, and Eillium Island.
First seen and roughly charted by Captain George Powell and Captain Nathaniel Palmer on the occasion of their joint cruise in 1821. Recharted in 1903 by the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition under William S. Bruce, who named it for the birthplace of his wife, Nigg Bay in Cromarty in Scotland.
