This name originates from Australia. It is part of the Australian Antarctic Gazetteer and the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.
Named after the British - Australian - New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition 1930-31 led by Sir Douglas Mawson. The name was coined by Captain John King Davis, and is the acronym of the expedition title. The expedition made an outstanding contribution to both the contemporary knowledge of the Antarctic continent and to the oceanography of the region, demonstrating the existence of a continuous undersea land-platform around at least a third of Antarctica, reinforcing the theory that there was a continent beneath the ice plateau, rather than a series of islands cemented by the polar ice cap.
