Duchaylard Island

Duchaylard Island is an island 3 nmi long at the west side of Grandidier Channel, lying 1 nmi southeast of Vieugue Island and 10 nmi west of Cape Garcia, off the west coast of Graham Land. It was discovered by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, and named by Jean-Baptiste Charcot for Monsieur du Chaylard, French Minister Plenipotentiary at Montevideo, Uruguay. The recommended spelling follows the form used in Maurice Bongrain's report of 1914 and is now firmly established.
