sea along the coast of East Antarctica
Davis Sea as part of the Southern Ocean, with proposed names for bordering seas also depicted. Davis Sea is an area of the sea along the coast of East Antarctica between West Ice Shelf in the west and the Shackleton Ice Shelf in the east, or between 82° and 96°E. The name "Davis Sea" appears in most leading geographically authoritative publications such as the 2014 10th edition World Atlas from the National Geographic Society and the 2014 12th edition of the Times Atlas of the World, unlike neighboring proposed water body names such as the Russian-proposed Cooperation Sea to the west.
According to the Great Soviet Encyclopedia, it stretches from 87°E to 98°E, and is up to 1,300 m (4,300 ft) deep. Its area is given as only 21,000 km (8,100 sq mi). Other authorities such as National Geographic assign it a much smaller extent.
