Charcot Island
Charcot Island or Charcot Land is an island administered under the Antarctic Treaty System, 56 kilometres (30 nmi) long and 46 kilometres (25 nmi) wide, which is ice covered except for prominent mountains overlooking the north coast.A notable landmark of the island is its northernmost point, Cape Byrd.He did so with the stated intention of honoring his father, Jean-Martin Charcot, a famous French physician.[1] The insularity of Charcot Land was proved by Sir Hubert Wilkins, who flew around it on 29 December 1929.The ice bridge collapsed rapidly, turning into hundreds of icebergs.
