Penon Blanco (44°23'S., 73°32'W.), a detached rock with foul ground off its W side, and on which a light is shown, lies about 5.5 miles SW of Isla El Gorro. Anchorage can be taken during moderate weather about 137m off the rock. The bottom is sand and rock, good holding ground. Isla Ballena, with a rock close off its S shore, lies 3.5 miles N of Penon Blanco.
