Davis Ice Piedmont (70°38′S 166°16′E) is an ice piedmont about 10 nautical miles (19 km; 12 mi) long and 4 nautical miles (7.4 km; 4.6 mi) wide, located along the north side of Missen Ridge on the north coast of Victoria Land, Antarctica.
Exploration and naming
The name Cape Davis, after John E. Davis, Second Master of the HMS Terror, was given to a cape in the immediate area by Captain James Clark Ross in 1841. Since no significant cape exists here, the United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) and the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee (NZ-APC) have reapplied the name "Davis" to this ice piedmont.
Location
The Davis Ice Piedmont extends into the Pacific Ocean to the north of Kirkby Glacier and Missen Ridge, which forms the north side of Yule Bay.
Cape Hooker lies to the east of the piedmont.
Nella Island, Thala Island and the Lyall Islands lie in the sea near the piedmont.
