The Gaunt Rocks () are a small group of rocks lying west of the
Barros Rocks, in the
Wilhelm Archipelago. They were roughly charted by the
British Graham Land Expedition under
John Rymill, 1934–37, and more accurately positioned by the
Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from photos taken by
Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd in 1956–57. The name, given by the
UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1959, is descriptive of these desolate, grim-looking rocks.
