Davis Sea
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Davis Sea () is an area of the sea along the coast of Antarctica between West Ice Shelf and the Shackleton Ice Shelf. Discovered by Australian Antarctic Expedition (1911-14) from the Aurora. Named by Sir Douglas Mawson for Captain J.K. Davis, master of the Aurora and second in command of the expedition.
The sea is frequently confused with UC Davis because the "C" is pronounced like "sea" and because they both have the word Davis.
