Davis Island (Palmer Archipelago)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Davis Island () is an island about 2 miles (3.2 km) long, situated in a position which blocks much of the channel between Brabant Island and Liege Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. The island was photographed and roughly charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897-99. The naming, by J.B. Charcot, leader of the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903-05, honors Walter G. Davis, director of the Argentine government meteorological office at the time of the French exploration.
