Parasite Bay

	Parasite Bay Parasite Bay () is a small bay between Péage Island and the coastal angle formed by the west side of Cape Découverte. It was charted by the French Antarctic Expedition in 1951 and named by them for the study of atmospheric parasites made there, and by analogy with Ionosphere Bay at the east side of Cape Découverte.

	Péage Island Péage Island is a small rocky island southwest of Cape Découverte. Charted in 1951 by the French Antarctic Expedition and named by them for its position, which seems to command access to the Curzon Islands for parties arriving from Port Martin, ''péage'' being French for toll booth.

	Cape Découverte Cape Découverte or Cape Discovery () is the point of rocks which marks the northwest extremity of the Curzon Islands along the Adélie Coast. It was discovered on 21 January 1840, by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1837–40, under Captain Jules Dumont d'Urville Jules Sébastien César Dumont d'Urville (; 23 May 1790 – 8 May 1842) was a French explorer and naval officer who explored the south and western Pacific, Australia, New Zealand, and Antarctica. As a botanist and cartographer, he gave his nam ... who gave the name "Cap de la Decouverte" (cape of the discovery). It was the first rocky point of the coast seen by members of the expedition.

	French Antarctic Expedition The French Antarctic Expedition is any of several French expeditions in Antarctica. First expedition In 1772, Yves-Joseph de Kerguelen-Trémarec and the naturalist Jean Guillaume Bruguière sailed to the Antarctic region in search of the fabled Terra Australis. Kerguelen-Trémarec took possession of various Antarctic territories for France, including what would later be called the Kerguelen Islands. In Kerguelen-Trémarec's report to King Louis XV, he greatly overestimated the value of the Kerguelen Islands. The King sent him on a second expedition to Kerguelen in late 1773. When it became clear that these islands were desolate, useless, and not the Terra Australis, he was sent to prison. Second expedition In 1837, during an 1837–1840 expedition across the deep southern hemisphere, Captain Jules Dumont d'Urville sailed his ship ''Astrolabe'' along a coastal area of Antarctica which he later named Adélie Land, in honor of his wife. During the Antarctic part of this expedi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Ionosphere Bay Ionosphere Bay is a small bay bordering the east side of Cape Découverte, Antarctica. It was charted in 1951 by the French Antarctic Expedition and named by them for the corresponding scientific discipline, the study of the ionosphere The ionosphere () is the ionized part of the upper atmosphere of Earth, from about to above sea level, a region that includes the thermosphere and parts of the mesosphere and exosphere. The ionosphere is ionized by solar radiation. It plays an .... References Bays of Adélie Land {{AdélieLand-geo-stub ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
