Davis Station was established, not discovered. It did not exist prior to 1931, when the location was first sighted by Sir Douglas Mawson and Flight Lieutenant Stuart Campbell during the second British, Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition.
Captain Klarius Mikkelsen was the first to set foot on that location, in 1935.
