Geologie Archipelago coor dm 66 39 S 139 55 E is a small archipelago of rocky islands and rocks close north of Cape Geodesie and Astrolabe Glacier Tongue , extending from Helene Island on the west to Dumoulin Islands on the east. The French expedition under Captain Jules Dumont d Urville landed on Debarquement Rock in the Dumoulin Islands in January 1840. Because rock samples were obtained, they gave the name Pointe Geologie to a coastal feature charted as lying south of Debarquement Rock. The archipelago was delineated, in part, from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump , 1946 47. Following surveys by French Antarctic Expedition parties during the 1950 52 period, the French gave the name Archipel de Pointe Geologie to the entire archipelago, as d Urville s coastal feature is believed to correlate with portions of the cluster of islands close north of Astrolabe Glacier Tongue. usgs gazetteer Category Geography of Antarctica EAntarctica geo stub ... more details
