GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



BUCHANAN BAY: bay about 6 mi. wide, which 

 lies between Mertz Glacier Tongue and Cape De la 

 Motte along George V Coast; in about 67°05'S., 

 144''45'E. Disc, in 1912 by the AAE under Maw- 

 son, who named it for J. Y. Buchanan, who was a 

 patron of the AAE and who had also been a mem- 

 ber of the Br. exp. in the Challenger, 1872-76. 



BUCHANAN POINT: point about 2.5 mi. NW. of 

 Cape Dundas and 1 mi. SE. of Mackintosh Cove, on 

 the NE. coast of Laurie I., South Orkney Is.; in 

 60°43'S., 44°28'W. In 1903 the ScotNAE under 

 Bruce applied the name "Cape Buchanan," after 

 J. Y. Buchanan, a member of the Challenger cruise 

 of 1872-76, to the prominent cape 3 mi. northeast- 

 ward, which had been named Cape Valavielle 

 in 1838 by a Fr. exp. under D'Urville. At the same 

 time, the French name (in English form but mis- 

 spelled "Cape Vallavielle") was transferred to the 

 point now described. The name Cape Valavielle 

 has been retained for the prominent cape, as ap- 

 plied by D'Urville, on the basis of priority and wide 

 usage. For the sake of historical continuity, the 

 Br-APC in 1954 recommended that the name Bu- 

 chanan Point be applied to the point now described. 

 Not adopted: Cape Vallavielle.
