Odometer Rock
Odometer Rock (Bulgarian: скала Одометър, romanized: skala Odometer, IPA: [skɐˈla odoˈmɛtər]) is the rock off the NW coast of northwest coast of Nelson Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica extending 40 m in west–east direction and 30 m in south–north direction. Its surface area is 0.07 ha. The vicinity was visited by early 19th century sealers.[1]
The feature is named after the surveying instrument odometer used for measuring the distance traveled by a vehicle; in association with other names in the area deriving from the early development or use of geodetic instruments and methods.
