GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



DE HAVEN GLACIER: piedmont glacier about 

 15 mi. wide, formed by the confluence of small 

 channel glaciers which flow from the continental 

 ice on the E. flank of Norths Highland to the W. 

 side of Porpoise Bay, about 15 mi. SE. of Holmes 

 Gl., on Banzare Coast; in about 66°45'S., 127°45'E. 

 Delineated from aerial photographs taken by USN 

 Op. Hjp., 1946-47, and named by the US-ACAN 

 for Edmund H. De Haven, acting master on the 

 sloop of war Vincennes of the USEE under Wilkes, 

 1838-42. 



DEIMOS RIDGE: prominent narrow rocky spur 

 of sandstone and shales, standing close SW. of 

 Phobos Ridge and Mars Glacier along the N. side 

 of Saturn Gl., on the E. coast of Alexander I Island; 

 in 71°56'S., 68°40'W. The coast in this vicinity was 

 first seen from the air and partially photographed 

 by Lincoln Ellsworth on Nov. 23, 1935. This ridge 

 was first surveyed in 1949 by the FIDS, who gave 

 it this name in association with Mars Glacier; 

 Deimos being the outer of two satellites of Mars. 



DELAITE ISLAND: island about 1.5 mi. long 

 and 1 mi. wide, which lies midway between Cape 

 Anna and Cape Reclus in the north-central portion 

 of Wilhelmina Bay off the W. coast of Palmer Pen.; 

 in about 64°31'S., 62°03'W. Disc, by the BelgAE, 

 1897-99, under De Gerlache, and named by him 

 for J. Delaite, a supporter of the expedition. 



DE LA MOTTE, CAPE: prominent cape lying W. 

 of Mertz Glacier Tongue, on George V Coast; in 

 about 67°00'S., 144°20'E. Disc, by the AAE, 1911- 

 14, under Mawson, who named it for C. P. de la 

 Motte, third officer on the Aurora, the exp. ship. 

 The high land behind this cape is thought to be 

 "Point Case," which the USEE, 1838-42, under 

 Wilkes, saw from what was called "Disappointment 

 Bay" on Jan. 23, 1840. Not adopted: Cape de la 

 Motte, Point Case. 



DELAY POINT: rocky point about 600 ft. in el., 

 lying at the W. side of the N. end of Melba Pen., 

 about 7 mi. W. of Cape Charcot, on Queen Mary 

 Coast; in about 66°28'S., 98°07'E. Disc, by the AAE 

 under Mawson, 1911-14, and so named by the East- 

 ern Sledge Party of the Western Base because bad 

 weather delayed the party near here for several 

 days in November 1912. 



Delbert Little Glacier: see Kelsey Glacier. 



Delbridge Islands: see Dellbridge Islands. 



Deliverance, Cape: see Delivrance, Point. 



DlfiLIVRANCE POINT: rocky point, about 1 mi. 

 W. of Lumiere Peak, projecting from the SW. side 

 of the rugged peninsula whose seaward end is Cape 

 Tuxen, on the W. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 65°19'S., 



64°06'W. Disc, by the FrAE, 1908-10, under Char- 

 cot. So named because Charcot and two compan- 

 ions were rescued there, after being separated from 

 the exp. ship Pourquoi-Pas? for several days, while 

 on an exploration of this area in a small boat. Not 

 adopted: Cape Deliverance. 



DELLBRIDGE ISLANDS: group of islets of vol- 

 canic origin, lying in McMurdo Sound S. of Cape 

 Evans, Ross I.; in about 77°40'S., 166°25'E. Disc, 

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

 them for James H. Dellbridge, second engineer with 

 the expedition. Not adopted: Delbridge Islands. 



DELONCLE BAY: bay, about 1.5 mi. long, indent- 

 ing the W. coast of Palmer Pen. between Loubat and 

 Glandaz Points and opening on Lemaire Chan, op- 

 posite Booth I.; in 65°06'S., 63°53'W. Disc, by the 

 BelgAE, 1897-99, under De Gerlache. The bay 

 was charted by the FrAE 1903-5, under Charcot, 

 and named by him for Frangois Deloncle, French 

 diplomat. 



De Loubat, Cape: see Loubat Point. 



DELTA ISLAND: islet, nearly 0.5 mi. long, lying 

 close SE. of Lambda I. and E. of Alpha I. in the 

 Melchior Is., Palmer Arch.; in 64°19'S., 62°59'W. 

 The name Delta, derived from the fourth letter of 

 the Greek alphabet, was probably given by DI per- 

 sonnel who roughly surveyed the islet in 1927. The 

 islet was surveyed by Argentine expeditions in 

 1942, 1943 and 1948. Not adopted: Isla Hermelo 

 [Spanish] . 



Delta Island: see Acuna Islet. 



DELUSION POINT: point which marks the E. 

 end of a rocky range which forms the S. wall of 

 Crane Gl., on the E. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 

 65°23'S., 62°00'W. The feature was photographed 

 from the air by Sir Hubert Wilkins on a flight of 

 Dec. 20, 1928. Named by the FIDS, who charted 

 it in 1947. 



DEMARIA, MOUNT: mountain with precipitous 

 sides, about 1,900 ft. in el., rising immediately SE.

 BelgAE, 1897-99, under De Gerlache. Charted by 

 the FrAE, 1903-5, under Charcot, and named prob- 

 ably for the Demaria brothers, French developers 

 of an anastigmatic lens used by the expedition's 

 photographic section. Not adopted: Demaria
