Narrative

Archipel rocheux que, du large, J. Dumont d'Urville prit pour une pointe du continent. Située dans la baie Pierre-Lejay, à l'ouest du glacier de l'Astrolabe. Nom donné en raison du voisinage de l'endroit où fut effectué le premier débarquement le 21 ou le 22 janvier 1840, sur un îlot rocheux appelé "rocher du Débarquement" où furent prélevés des échantillons de roches.
