The Moss Braes (60°41′S 45°37′W / 60.683°S 45.617°W / -60.683; -45.617) are west-facing slopes (braes) situated west of Robin Peak on Signy Island, in the South Orkney Islands off Antarctica. They were named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1990 from the extensive moss banks on the dissected rocky slopes.[1]
