Charcot Island : ウィキペディア英語版 | Charcot Island
Charcot Island or Charcot Land is an island administered under the Antarctic Treaty System, long and wide, which is ice covered except for prominent mountains overlooking the north coast. Charcot Island lies within the Bellingshausen Sea, west of Alexander Island, and about north of Latady Island. A notable landmark of the island is its northernmost point, Cape Byrd. ==History== Charcot Island was discovered on January 11, 1910, by the French Antarctic Expedition under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, who, at the insistence of his crew and the recommendation of Edwin S. Balch and others, named it Charcot Land. He did so with the stated intention of honoring his father, Jean-Martin Charcot, a famous French physician.() The insularity of Charcot Land was proved by Sir Hubert Wilkins, who flew around it on December 29, 1929.
