Francais Glacier
Francais Glacier (-66.55°N, 138.25°W) is a glacier 4 nautical miles (7 km) wide and 12 nautical miles (22 km) long, flowing north-northeast from the continental ice to the coast close west of Ravin Bay. Though no glaciers were noted on Captain Jules Dumont d'Urville's chart of this coast, the close correlation of his "Baie des Ravins" feature and narrative description with the indentation of the coast near the mouth of this glacier suggests first sighting of this feature by the French expedition, 1837-40. During December 1912 members of the Main Base Party of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition camped on the upland slopes close east of the glacier, but no reference was made to the glacier in the Australasian Antarctic Expedition reports, though a clear view and unpublished sketch were obtained of the distant coast to the northwest.

The name "Pointe des Francais" (point of the French) was given by Captain Jules Dumont d'Urville (French expedition, 1837-40) to the northeast point of the island which at that time was believed to be continuous with Joinville Island. Surveys by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) (1952-54) and aerial photographs by Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (FIDASE) (1956-57) have not revealed a definable point hereabout. For the sake of historical continuity in the area, the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) (1978) applied the name Francais Rocks to these fringing rocks.
