[edit] Daisy Point

'''Daisy Point''' ({{coor dm|54|3|S|37|11|W|}}) is a point extending seaward from the high rocky shore on the east side of the Bay of Isles, [[South Georgia]]. It lies 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) west of [[Cape Wilson]], near the entrance to [[Beckmann Fjord]]. The name [[Low Point]] was given for this feature, probably by DI personnel who charted this area in 1929. Following its survey in 1951-52, the SGS reported that this part of the coast is high and rugged, and the point, though relatively low by comparison, does not merit the description "low." The new name, recommended by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) in 1954, is after the sealing brig Daisy of [[New Bedford]], MA, which under Captain [[Benjamin D. Cleveland]] visited the Bay of Isles in 1912-13.

Surveyed by the SGS in the period 1951-57, and so named by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC) because there is no route for sledging parties from the head of this glacier to the north shore of [[Drygalski Fjord]].

Discovered by the [[U.S. Navy Bellingshausen Sea Expedition]] in February 1960. Named by [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) for Lieutenant Commander [[Robert B. Deadmond]], executive officer of the USS [[Burton Island]], forming part of this expedition.

[edit] Deakin Bay

'''Deakin Bay''' ({{coor dm|68|23|S|150|10|E|}}) is a wide, open [[bay]] on the coast between [[Horn Bluff]] and [[Cape Freshfield]]. The bay was roughly delineated by the [[Far Eastern Party]] of [[Australasian Antarctic Expedition]] (1911-14) under [[Sir Douglas Mawson]], who named it for [[Sir Alfred Deakin]], [[Prime Minister]] of Australia in 1910. In certain historical accounts and charts this feature has been correlated with "[[Peacocks Bay]]" of the [[U.S. Exploring Expedition]] (1838-42) under Lieutenant [[Charles Wilkes]], USN.

[edit] Debarquement Rock

'''Debarquement Rock''' ({{coor dm|66|36|S|140|4|E|}}) is an ice-free rock 0.1 nautical miles (0.2 km) long marking the north end of the [[Dumoulin Islands]] and the northeast end of [[Geologie Archipelago]]. The French expedition under Captain [[Jules Dumont]] d'Urville landed on a rocky islet in this vicinity in January 1840 and gave the name "Rocher du Debarquement." Positive identification of this feature has not been made, but on the basis of air photos taken by [[U.S. Navy Operation Highjump]], 1946-47, and surveys and geological studies made by the [[French Antarctic Expedition]] during the 1950-52 period, the seaward position of Debarquement Rock is believed to correlate with the feature so named by d'Urville.

[edit] Debutante Island

'''Debutante Island''' ({{coor dm|69|34|S|75|30|E|}}) is a narrow [[island]] which is the southernmost of the [[Sostrene Islands]]. The island is ice covered except for a small rock outcrop and barely protrudes above the general level of the [[Publications Ice Shelf]]. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photographs taken by the [[Lars Christensen Expedition]], 1936-37. [[Named Debutante]] in 1952 by [[John H. Roscoe]] because the island is just beginning to "come out" from under its ice cover.

[edit] Decazes Island

'''Decazes Island''' ({{coor dm|66|26|S|67|20|W|}}) is an [[island]] 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) long, lying 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) southwest of [[Belding Island]] at the southwest extremity of the [[Biscoe Islands]]. The island is one of the largest of many small islets and rocks that fringe the northern side of [[Matha Strait]]. The vicinity was charted by the [[French Antarctic Expedition]] (1908-10) under [[Jean B. Charcot]], who applied the name "[[Pointe Decazes]]" to the south end of an island in this approximate position. The original application has been altered in recent years, and the name Decazes is now established in usage for the entire island described.
