Gaudin Point
Gaudin Point (65°5′S 63°22′W / 65.083°S 63.367°W) is the eastern entrance point of Lauzanne Cove, Flandres Bay, on the Danco Coast of Antarctica. It was first charted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot. In association with the names of pioneers of photography in this area, the point was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee (1977) after Marc Antoine Gaudin, a French photographer who took the first instantaneous photographs of moving objects in 1841.[1]
