Coordinates edit

Looking at the satellite view of the island on Google Maps, the given coordinates appear to describe a point to the northeast of Peter I Island, contrary to what the text states. Reliable sources, including the US government source cited in the article as well as an Australian government source, seem to agree on that set of coordinates. I found this map, which I suspect may be the source of the figure given, as it indicates that the rocks are at the coordinates indicated in the article.

However, unless Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, and others are all incorrect, it would seem that the latitudes and longitudes given by the linked map are misaligned. Comparing the drawn map side by side with satellite imagery, the pair of rocks in question may be the ones at about 68°46′05″S 90°42′47″W / 68.768°S 90.713°W / -68.768; -90.713. I'm not sure what course of action is best — the reliable sources themselves are self-contradicting, claiming the rocks are to the southwest of Cape Eva and then giving coordinates that are to the northeast.
