Gentoo penguin in port charcot s penguin highway booth island antarctica
Port Charcot is a 3 km (1.9 mi) wide bay indenting the north shore of Booth Island, in the Wilhelm Archipelago of Antarctica. It was charted by the third French Antarctic expedition (1903–05), under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, and named by him for his father, Jean-Martin Charcot, French neurologist. Charcot established the expedition's winter base at Port Charcot in 1904.
