The island was photographed and roughly charted by the BelgAE, 1897-99. The naming, by J.B. Charcot, leader of the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903-05, honors Walter G. Davis, director of the Argentine government meteorological office at the time of the French exploration. http://geonames.usgs.gov |
