D'Urville Monument
D'Urville Monument is a conspicuous conical summit, high, at the south-west end of Joinville Island, off the north-east end of the Antarctic Peninsula. It was discovered by a British expedition under James Clark Ross between 1839–43. It was named by him for Captain Jules Dumont d'Urville.The site has been identified as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International because it supports a large breeding colony of about 10,000 pairs of Adélie penguins and over 670 pairs of gentoo penguins.
