Dumoulin Islands

Dumoulin Islands (66°37′S 140°4′E / 66.617°S 140.067°E / -66.617; 140.067) is a small group of rocky islands at the northeast end of the Geologie Archipelago, 2.5 nautical miles (4.6 km) north of Astrolabe Glacier Tongue. A French expedition under Captain Jules Dumont d'Urville landed on one of these islands in 1840. The islands were roughly charted by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition, 1911–14, under Mawson, who named them after Vincendon-Dumoulin (see the Wikipedia french edition), of the French expedition who conducted observations on terrestrial magnetism in this locality. The group was photographed from the air by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, and recharted by the French Antarctic Expedition under Liotard, 1949-51.
