Narrative

A rocky island on the coast of George V Land near Point Alden. Discovered by the first French expedition to Terre Adelie (1949) under the direction of Andri Liotard during a trip to Cape Denison. Called Rocher du Douanier because it seemed to guard the limit of the French sector. When later analysis of French results showed the feature to be in the Australian Antarctic Territory, it was decided to retain the name Douanier.
