COMPOSITE GAZETTEER OF ANTARCTICA

running NE from Moraine Cove, Mikkelsen Bay, Fallières Coast, and rising to c. 550m, was probably sighted by FAE, 1908-10, on 22 January 1909 from a position near the N end of Alexander Island, but the name IÎle Pavie (Charcot, 1912, Pl. 1 and 2; Bongrain, 1914, vue 35) or Cap Pavie (Bongrain, 1914, vue 36) was applied to a feature sighted on 21 January from a position SE of Jenny Island, shown in c.

Isolated rocky ridge rising over 500 m, which extends S and W from Martin Glacier to Moraine Cove, and forms the SE limit of Bertrand Ice Piedmont, on the W coast of Graham Land. The name "Ile Pavie" was given in 1909 by the FrAE under Charcot to an island, or possible cape, shown on the FrAE maps in 6827S, 6640W. From a position 15 mi SE of Jenny Island, Maurice Bongrain, FrAE surveyor, made sketches of this feature which were labeled "Ile Pavie" and "Cap Pavie." This general area was surveyed in 1936 by the BGLE under Rymill, but the feature named by Charcot was not identified. Following further surveys by the FIDS in 1948, Charcot's "Ile Pavie" was identified from Bongrain's sketches as the feature now named Red Rock Ridge. The name Red Rock Ridge is now too firmly established to alter. The name Pavie Ridge has therefore been approved for the isolated rocky ridge described above as forming the S limit of Bertrand Ice Piedmont, and whose position is not far removed from the original position indicated by Charcot. Named by Charcot, presumably for Auguste J.M. Pavie (1847-1925), French diplomat and explorer.
