Chameau Island

Chameau Island

Chameau Island (66°46′S 141°36′E / 66.767°S 141.6°E / -66.767; 141.6) is a rocky island 0.1 miles (0.2 km) long, lying 0.8 miles (1.3 km) east of Cape Découverte in the Curzon Islands. It was charted and named in 1951 by the French Antarctic Expedition. The name is suggestive of the island's form which resembles the two humps on a (bactrian) camel, "chameau" being a French word for camel.
