Reclus Peninsula

Reclus Peninsula

Reclus Peninsula is a peninsula 7 miles long which borders the W side of Charlotte Bay, on the W coast of Graham Land. First charted in 1898 by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache, who named the N extremity "Cap Reclus" for Elisee Reclus (1830-1905), French geographer and author. The UK-APC extended the name Reclus to the entire peninsula in 1960.

The highest point are the Jacques Peaks at 385m.
