Sewing-Machine Needles, also known as Rocas Ministro Ezcurra (62°58′11.8″S 60°29′39.1″W / 62.969944°S 60.494194°W) is a group of three prominent rock needles, the highest 45 m above water, lying close southeast of Rancho Point, Deception Island, in the South Shetland Islands. The name Sewing-Machine Rock was given by whalers for what was originally a conspicuous natural arch. Needles is now considered the more suitable descriptive term; an earthquake tremor in 1924 caused the arch to collapse. The name Rocas Ministro Ezcurra was given by Dr Douglas (later Sir Douglas) Mawson, leader of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition of 1912-14.

dbo:abstract
  • Die Sewing-Machine Needles (englisch für Nähmaschinennadeln, in Chile [sic!] Rocas Mohai) sind drei bis zu 45 m hohe Klippenfelsen im Archipel der Südlichen Shetlandinseln. Sie liegen südöstlich des Rancho Point von Deception Island. Walfänger verliehen dem ursprünglichen Felsentor im 19. Jahrhundert den Namen Sewing-Machine Rock (englisch für Nähmaschinenfelsen). Nachdem dieses Felsentor infolge eines Erdbebens im Jahr 1924 eingestürzt war, passte 1957 das UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee diese Benennung an. Chilenische Wissenschaftler benannten sie deskriptiv nach den Moai, den kolossalen Steinstatuen auf der Osterinsel. (de)

  • As Agulhas da Máquina de Costura (62° 58′ 11,8″ S, 60° 29′ 39,1″ O) são um grupo de três agulhas de rochedo proeminentes, a mais alta tendo 45 m, situada próximo a sudoeste do Cabo Rancho, Ilha Decepção, nas Ilhas Shetland do Sul. O nome Rochedo Máquina de Costura foi dado por baleeiros para o que era originalmente um arco natural conspícuo. As "Agulhas" são agora consideradas o termo descritivo mais adequado; um tremor de terra em 1924 causou o colapso do arco. (pt)
  • Sewing-Machine Needles är en bergstopp i Antarktis. Den ligger i Sydshetlandsöarna. Argentina, Chile och Storbritannien gör anspråk på området. Toppen på Sewing-Machine Needles är 45 meter över havet. Terrängen runt Sewing-Machine Needles är lite kuperad. Havet är nära Sewing-Machine Needles åt sydost. Den högsta punkten i närheten är Mount Pond, 550 meter över havet, 3,6 kilometer nordväst om Sewing-Machine Needles. Trakten är glest befolkad. Närmaste befolkade plats är Gabriel de Castilla Spanish Antarctic Station, 9,5 kilometer väster om Sewing-Machine Needles. (sv)
