Marescot Point

Marescot Point
Location of Trinity Peninsula.

Marescot Point (63°29′S 58°35′W / 63.483°S 58.583°W / -63.483; -58.583) is a small but distinctive low rocky point projecting north from Trinity Peninsula, 2.5 nautical miles (4.6 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), ensign on the Astrolabe during d'Urville's expedition (1837–40), who died during the voyage.
