D'Urville Wall (75°16′S 162°13′E / 75.267°S 162.217°E / -75.267; 162.217) is a great glacier-cut wall of granite which rises to 720 metres (2,360 ft) and forms the north wall of David Glacier near its terminus, in the Prince Albert Mountains of Victoria Land. It was discovered by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907–09, under Ernest Shackleton, and he named this feature for Admiral Jules Dumont d'Urville.
