Ramp Rocks Ramp Rocks () are three barren rocks, the largest being 23 m high, lying 2.5 nautical miles (4.6 km) northwest of Johannesen Point, Main Island, at the west extremity of South Georgia. The name "Laavebrua," a descriptive Norwegian term meaning literally "threshing floor bridge" or "barn bridge," was used for the largest rock by whalers and sealers at South Georgia. In Norwegian barns used for storing hay, there is a ramp up which the wagons are driven before tipping. "Laavebrua," which is not strictly translatable, is this ramp. The United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) recommended in 1954 that "Ramp Rock" be approved for the large rock, but in 1976 altered the name to Ramp Rocks to include the three rocks. The name Låvebrua Island is already approved for an island off Deception Island.
