Davis Bluff

Davis Bluff (78°09′00″S 167°35′00″E) is a rock bluff that rises to 400 m in height. It is located 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) northeast of Isolation Point in east White Island, Ross Archipelago. Davis Bluff was named by the United States Board of Geographic names following the recommendation of its Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 2005 after Randall William Davis, Department of Marine Biology, Texas A&M University, Galveston, Texas. Dr. Davis studied the Weddell seal in McMurdo Sound sea ice areas from 1977 to 2003, including winter season research at White Island with his wife Ana Maria Davis, Michael A. Castellini and Markus Horning.
