D59 is a field camp in Antarctica on the land traverse between Dumont d'Urville (French coastal station) and Dome C (Franco-Italian high antarctic plateau station). It is known mainly for the two LC-130 crashes which happened in 1971 (eventually repaired and recovered 16 years later) and 1987 with two dead.
