GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



Dailey Archipelago: see Dailey Islands. 



DAILEY ISLANDS : group of volcanic islets lying 

 in the N. part of the ice shelf of McMurdo Sound 

 about 9 mi. NE. of Cape Chocolate, along the coast 

 of Victoria Land; in about 77°53'S., 165°15'E. 

 Disc, by the BrNAE, 1901-4, under Scott, who 

 named this group for Fred E. Dailey, exp. carpen- 

 ter. Not adopted : Dailey Archipelago. 



DAISY POINT: point extending seaward from 

 the high rocky shore on the E. side of the Bay of 

 Isles, South Georgia. It lies 0.5 mi. W. of Cape 

 Wilson, near the entrance to Beckmann Fjord; in 

 54°03'S., 37°11'W. 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 Br-APC in 1954, is after the sealing brig 

 Daisy of New Bedford, Mass., which under Capt. 

 Benjamin D. Cleveland visited the Bay of Isles in 

 1912-13. Not adopted: Low Point. 



DALES ISLAND: the outermost offshore island 

 N. of the William Scoresby Arch., rising to about 

 160 ft. in el. and lying about 13 mi. N. of Mac- 

 Robertson Coast; in about 67°11'S., 59°46'E. Disc, 

 and named by DI personnel on the William 

 Scoresby in February 1936. 



DALGLIESH BAY: bay, about 1 mi. wide and 

 indenting 3 mi., lying between Cape Lainez and 

 Cape Bongrain on the SW. side of Pourquoi Pas I., 

 off the W. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 67°43'S., 

 67°43'W. First roughly surveyed in 1936 by the 

 BGLE under Rymill. Resurveyed in 1948 by the 

 FIDS and named for David G. Dalgliesh, FIDS 

 medical officer at Stonington I. in 1948-49, who 

 accompanied the 1948 sledge survey party to this 

 area. 



DALK GLACIER: channel glacier, about 2 mi. 

 wide and 8 mi. long, flowing NNE. from the conti- 

 nental ice to the Ingrid Christensen Coast, close E. 

 of Larsemann Hills; in about 69°25'S., 75°57'E. 

 Charted by Norwegian cartographers from aerial 

 photographs taken in January 1937 by the Nor. 

 exp. under Lars Christensen. So named by John 

 H. Roscoe, following his 1952 study of USN Op. Hjp. 

 aerial photographs taken in March 1947, because 

 of its close association with Dalk Islet lying close 

 off its terminus. 



DALK ISLET: rocky islet about 0.7 mi. long, 

 marked by a small rock close off its N. end, lying 

 about 8 mi. E. of the E. end of Larsemann Hills, 

 close off Dilk Gl. on Ingrid Christensen Coast; in 



about 69°23'S., 76°00'E. Charted by Norwegian 

 cartographers from aerial photographs taken in 

 January 1937 by the Nor. exp. under Lars Christen- 

 sen, who applied the name Dalkoy. The generic 

 islet is approved because of the small size of this fea- 

 ture. Not adopted: Dalkoy [Norwegian]. 



DALLMANN, MOUNT: peak about 9,000 ft. in 

 el., lying about 8 mi. E. of the N. end of the Conrad 

 Mtns., in New Schwabenland; in about 71°48'S., 

 lOnO'E. Disc, by the GerAE, 1938-39, under 

 Ritscher, and named for Eduard Dallmann. 



Dallman Bay: see Dallmann Bay. 



Dallmann Bay: see Flandres Bay. 



DALLMANN BAY: bay which lies between Bra- 

 bant and Anvers Islands, and is connected to De 

 Gerlache Str. by Schollaert Chan., in the Palmer 

 Arch.; in 64°20'S., 62°55'W. Disc, and first roughly 

 charted in 1874 by the German whaler Capt. 

 Eduard Dallmann. It was named for Dallmann by 

 the Society for Polar Navigation, Hamburg, which 

 sponsored Dallmann's Antarctic exploration. The 

 bay was later charted by the FrAE, 1903-5, under 

 Charcot. Not adopted: Dallman Bay. 



Dallman Nunatak: See Dallmann Nunatak. 



DALLMANN NUNATAK: nunatak about 3 mi. 

 NNW. of Bruce Nunatak in the Seal Nunataks 

 group, off the E. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 65°01'S., 

 60°20'W. Dallmann Nunatak was first charted in 

 1902 by the SwedAE under Nordenskjold, who 

 named it for Capt. Eduard Dallmann. Not 

 adopted: Dallman Nunatak. 



DALMENY, MOUNT: the northwesternmost 

 peak of the Admiralty Range, standing above the 

 S. shore of Smith Inlet, in northern Victoria Land; 

 in about 71°05'S., 167°07'E. Disc, in January 1841 

 by a Br. exp. under Ross, who named it for Rt. Hon. 

 Lord Dalmeny, then a junior Lord of the Admiralty. 



DALY, CAPE: ice-covered promontory on Mac- 

 Robertson Coast; in about 67°31'S., 63°54'E. Disc, 

 and named in February 1931 by the BANZARE 

 under Mawson. 



DAMOCLES POINT: point on the E. coast of 

 Alexander I Island, lying 3 mi. ESE. of the south- 

 ern summit of Mt. Tyrrell; in 69°39'S., 69°21'W. 

 A small rock exposure near sea level is surmounted 

 by an ice cliff 200 ft. high. First photographed 

 from the air in 1937 by the BGLE under Rymill. 

 Surveyed from the ground in 1948 by the FIDS, and 

 so named by them because the ice cliffs overhang- 

 ing the spot where geological specimens were col- 

 lected seemed like the sword of Damocles.
