GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



ander I Island. This feature was first sighted 

 from a distance and roughly charted by the FrAE 

 under Charcot who, thinking it to be a strait, 

 gave the name "Detroit Schokalsky" after Yuliy 

 M. Shokal'skiy, Russian geographer, meteorologist 

 and oceanographer. In giving this name he fol- 

 lowed the spelling Schokalsky used by the man 

 himself when writing in Roman script. The coast 

 in this vicinity was photographed from the air 

 and this bay roughly charted in 1937 by the BGLE, 

 but Charcot's "Detroit Schokalsky" was not iden- 

 tified. Further surveys by FIDS in 1948 have defi- 

 nitely identified this bay as the feature originally 

 named by Charcot. Not adopted: Detroit Scho- 

 kalsky [French], Shokalski Strait.

 Gerlache, who named it for Frangois SchoUaert,
