Davis Anchorage

Davis Anchorage (68°34′S 77°55′E / 68.567°S 77.917°E / -68.567; 77.917) is an anchorage about 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) in extent with general depths of 10 to 13 fathoms, lying off Breidnes Peninsula, Vestfold Hills. It is bounded on the west by Krat Rocks and Hobby Rocks, and on the east by the rocks and shoal water extending 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) offshore from Davis Station. The anchorage has been used by ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) ships to Davis Station, for which it is named, since 1957.
