DOWNSHIRE, Cape: cape about 35 mi. SSE. of 

 Cape Adare, in the NE. part of Victoria Land; in 

 about 71°45'S., 171°00'E. Disc, in 1841 by a Br. 

 exp. under Ross, and named at the request of Cdr. 

 Francis R. M. Crozier, after the latter's friend, the 

 Marquis Downshire. 



DOYLE POINT:, point lying on the coast of En- 

 derby Land about midway between Cape Batter- 

 bee and Cape Borley; in about 65°45'S., 54°35'E. 

 Disc, and named in January 1930 by the BANZARE 

 under Mawson. Not adopted: Stuart Doyle Point. 



DRAKE HEAD: headland about 5 mi. W. of Cape 

 Kinsey, forming the W. side of the entrance to 

 Davies Bay, on Oates Coast; in about 69°12'S., 

 158°35'E. Disc, by members of the Terra Nova 

 of the BrAE, who explored along Oates Coast un- 

 der Lt. Harry L. L. Pennell, RN, in February 1911. 

 Named for Francis R. H. Drake, meteorologist 

 aboard the Terra Nova. 



DREIKANTER HEAD: dark, triangular head- 

 land, about 1,700 ft. in el., situated on the W. side 

 of Granite Hbr. and separated by a small glacier 

 from the N. side of Kar Plateau, in Victoria Land; 

 in about 76°54'S., 162°31'E. Charted and named 

 by the BrAE, 1910-13, under Scott. The trian- 

 gular appearance of the feature when viewed from 

 the SE. suggests the name; "dreikantig" is a Ger- 

 man word meaning "three-edged." Not adopted: 

 Dreikanter. 



DROMEDARY, MOUNT: hump-shaped moun- 

 tain, about 9,600 ft. in el., with two slightly ele-

 tlitz Gl., about 4 mi. ENE. of Mt. Kempe, on the 

 W. side of Ross Ice Shelf; in about 78°21'S., 

 163°06'E. Charted by the BrNAE, 1901-4, under 

 Scott, but was named by Scott's second expedi- 

 tion to the area, the BrAE, 1910-13. So named be- 

 cause the overall appearance of the mountain sug- 

 gests the hump of a dromedary. 



Dronning Mary Land: see Queen Mary Coast. 



Dronning Maud Land: see Queen Maud Land. 



Dronning Mauds Fjell: see Queen Maud Range. 



Drygalski Barrier: see Drygalski Ice Tongue. 



Drygalski Bay: see Drygalski Glacier.

 which recedes NW. about 7 mi., entered immedi- 

 ately N. of Nattriss Head along the SE coast of 

 South Georgia; in 54°49'S., 36°00'W. Charted by

 tion through a rectangular re-entrant about 15 mi. 

 N. of Cape Fairweather, on the E. coast of. Palmer 

 Pen.; in 64°44'S., 61°00'W. Disc, in 1902 by the 

 SwedAE, under Nordenskjold, and named Drygalski 

 Bay after Prof. Erich von Drygalski. The feature 

 was determined to be a glacier by the FIDS in 1947. 

 Not adopted: Drygalski Bay. 



Drygalski Glacier Tongue; Drygalski Tongue. 

 see Drygalski Ice Tongue. 



DRYGALSKI ICE TONGUE: an ice tongue which 

 is fed by the David and Larsen Glaciers and is about 

 25 mi. wide at its base along the coast of Vic- 

 toria Land, extending E. into Ross Sea for about 

 38 mi.; in about 75°30'S., 164°30'E. Disc, in Jan- 

 uary 1902 by the BrNAE under Scott, who named 

 it for Prof. Erich von Drygalski. Not adopted: 

 Drygalski Barrier, Drygalski Glacier Tongue, Dry- 

 galski Tongue. 



DRYGALSKI ISLAND: ice-capped island, about 

 9 mi. in diameter, with a flattened dome about 1,200 

 ft. in el., lying about 45 mi. off Queen Mary Coast, 

 NNE. of Cape FUchner; in about 65°43'S., 92°42'E. 

 Viewed from the continental coast in November 

 1912, by members of the Western Base of the AAE, 

 and observed more closely from the Aurora, in 

 January 1914, on the homeward journey of the 

 exp. Thought to be "Drygalski's High Land" 

 charted by Prof. Erich von Drygalski of the GerAE 

 in 1902, his name was given to the island. 



DRYGALSKI MOUNTAINS: group of mountains 

 in New Schwabenland, projecting through the ice-

 teau in about 72°50'S., 8°30'E. Disc, by the GerAE, 

 1938-39, under Ritscher, and named for Prof. Erich 

 von Drygalski. 



DRYING POINT: point on the SW. side of Borge 

 Bay, about 0.2 mi. NW. of Mooring Pt., on the E. 

 side of Signy I., in the South Orkney Is.; in 60°43'S.,

 upon a 1927 survey of Borge Bay by DI personnel

DuBEAU GLACIER: channel glacier about 3 

 mi. wide and 9 mi. long, flowing N. from the con- 

 tinental ice to Knox Coast, about 6 mi. W. of Snede- 

 ker Gl.; in about 66°25'S., 106°08'E. Delineated
