Ducloz Head

The Ducloz Head is a headland which forms the north-western side of the entrance to the Undine South Harbour on the south coast of South Georgia. It was first mapped in 1819 by a Russian expedition under Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen. It was designated by the Committee for Antarctic Place Names of the United Kingdom (UK - APC) after an investigation 1951/52, according to Ducloz Guyot, a passenger on the Spanish Ship Leon, the sighted South Georgia in 1756.

During the 1950s explored Verner Duncan Carse, after the Mount Carse is named, different areas in the interior of South Georgia. He negotiated a rent of one shilling per year for four acres of land on Ducloz Head and paid for ten years in advance. On February 23, 1961 Carse was issued here by HMS Owen with 12 tons of food and a prefabricated hut. In April came a ship to check on him, but on May 20 a large wave swept him, and his tent, and his food into the sea. He succeeded in the polar winter a further 116 days to survive before he was rescued by a seal-hunting ship.
