Names that other countries have for this feature:
at head of Bouquet Bay, between Brabant and Liège Island, was roughly charted by BeAE in January 1898 but there is some doubt as to whether the name Île Harry (Lecointe, map, 1899; 1903, Carte 5; 1905, Pl. 5 following p.110) referred to this island or to Harry Island (q.v.) nearby; further charted by FAE, 1903-05, and named Île Davis after Walter G. Davis, English Director of the Oficina Meteorológica Argentina, Buenos Aires (Charcot, 1906b, p.469; Matha and Rey, 1911, Pl. 3 following p.615).
