Marescot Point

Marescot Point (63°29′S 58°35′W) is a small but distinctive low rocky point projecting north from Trinity Peninsula, Antarctica, 2.5 nautical miles (5 km) east of Thanaron Point. This feature is a reidentification of Captain Jules Dumont d'Urville's original "Cap Marescot," named after Jacques Marescot du Thilleul (1808–39), an ensign on the Astrolabe during d'Urville's expedition (1837–40), who died during the voyage.
