Douanier Rock

Douanier Rock

Douanier Rock is a small rocky island lying close to the coast and just east of Point Alden, the point which separates Adelie Coast and George V Coast. Discovered and named "Rocher du Douanier" by the 1949 French expedition under Andre Liotard. The name is whimsical. It alludes to the coastal division and the proximity of this island.
