Davis Bay

Davis Bay is a bay about 12 miles (19 km) wide at the entrance between Cape Cesney and Lewis Island in Antarctica. It was discovered from the Aurora by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (1910–14) under Douglas Mawson, and named by Mawson for Captain John King Davis, master of the Aurora and second-in-command of the expedition.
