To avoid duplication, the name was changed in 1958 by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (UK-APC); Dobrowolski Island is named after [[Antoni B. Dobrowolski]] (1872-1954), assistant meteorologist of the [[Belgian Antarctic Expedition]] which explored this area in 1898.

Doubtful Bay

'''Doubtful Bay''' ({{coor dm|54|52|S|36|1|W|}}) is a small, deeply indented [[bay]], which lies 1 nautical mile (1.9 km) east-northeast of [[Smaaland Cove]] and immediately west of [[Rumbolds Point]] on the southeast coast of [[South Georgia]].

Dovers Moraine

'''Dovers Moraine''' ({{coor dm|53|7|S|73|42|E|}}) is a band of coarse glacial moraine, extending in a north-south direction for 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km), deposited at the east end of the main mass of [[Heard Island]] immediately east of [[Stephenson Glacier]].

'''Drummond Glacier''' ({{coor dm|66|40|S|65|43|W|}}) is a [[glacier]] 10 nautical miles (18 km) long and 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) wide, on the west coast of [[Graham Land]], flowing west-northwest into [[Darbel Bay]] to the south of [[Hopkins Glacier]]. First roughly surveyed by [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) in 1946-47, and named [[West Balch Glacier]]. With [[East Balch Glacier]] it was reported to fill a transverse depression across Graham Land, but a further survey in 1957 showed that there is no close topographical alignment between the two. The name Balch has been limited to the east glacier and an entirely new name approved for this glacier. Sir [[Jack C. Drummond]] (1891-1952), professor of biochemistry at the University of London, helped in the selection and calculation of the sledging rations of many British polar expeditions between [[World War I]] and II.

Drygalski Ice Tongue

'''Drygalski Ice Tongue''' ({{coor dm|75|24|S|163|30|E|}}) is a [[glacier]] tongue that is the prominent seaward extension of the [[David Glacier]] into the [[Ross Sea]].

Scott]], leader of the ''Discovery'' expedition, discovered this feature in January 1902 and named it for Professor Erich von Drygalski, a contemporary German explorer then in Antarctica. This feature became well established by the name Drygalski Ice Tongue prior to initiation of systematic application of common specific names to a glacier and its glacier tongue. Although this feature is a glacier tongue, the generic term ice tongue has been retained in the name to reduce ambiguity.

Dumoulin Islands

'''Dumoulin Islands''' ({{coor dm|66|37|S|140|4|E|}}) is a small group of rocky islands at the northeast end of the [[Geologie Archipelago]], 2.5 nautical miles (4.6 km) north of [[Astrolabe Glacier Tongue]]. A French expedition under Captain [[Jules Dumont]] d'Urville landed on one of these islands in 1840. The islands were roughly charted by the [[Australasian Antarctic Expedition]], 1911-14, under Mawson, who named them after [[C.A. Vincendon-Dumoulin]] of the French expedition who conducted observations on terrestrial magnetism in this locality. The group was photographed from the air by [[U.S. Navy Operation Highjump]], 1946-47, and recharted by the [[French Antarctic Expedition]] under Liotard, 1949-51.

Dumoulin Rocks

'''Dumoulin Rocks''' ({{coor dm|63|29|S|59|46|W|}}) is a group of rocks 4 nautical miles (7 km) northeast of [[Cape Leguillou]], the north tip of [[Tower Island]], in the [[Palmer Archipelago]]. The French expedition under Captain [[Jules Dumont]] d'Urville, 1837-40, applied the name [[Iles Dumoulin]], for [[C.A. Vincendon-Dumoulin]], hydrographer with the expedition, to a group of small islands in this area. A study of air photos has shown that there are two groups of rocks. The southwest group has been named [[Kendall Rocks]] and the northeast group Dumoulin Rocks.
