SCAR Gazetteer Information: Each place can have one or more entries in the SCAR Composite Gazetteer, dependant on its origin. By viewing an individual entry, you may see multiple references to the same place. SCAR uses a more general feature type coding, so each place will, in general, have multiple feature types.

rising to c. 800m on S side of Mikkelsen Bay, Fallières Coast, were roughly mapped by FAE, 1908-10, in January 1909 and named Cap Pierre Baudin after Pierre Baudin, a port engineer at Pernambuco (Recife), who assisted the expedition in 1910 (Charcot, 1910, p.366; 1912, Pl. 1 and 2; BA, 1916, p.409). Cap P. Baudin (Bongrain, 1914, vue 36 following p.60). Cape Pierre Baudin (BA chart 3175, 9.x.1914). Kapp Pierre Baudin (HA chart, 1927). The area was surveyed by BGLE in 1936 (Rymill, 1938a, map facing p.496). The peaks were called in error Cape Berteaux (q.v.) (USHO, 1945, photograph facing p.162); resurveyed by FIDS from Stonington Island in 1948-49 and named Baudin Peaks (APC, 1955, p.5; DCS sheet 68 66, 1955). Gory Boden (Soviet Union.

Baudin Peaks (USA) | 68° 49' 00.0" S | 67° 03' 00.0" W | Peak |
Name ID: 122279
Place ID: 1007
Group of peaks rising above 750 m, standing at the SE corner of Mikkelsen Bay, immediately SW of the mouth of Clarke Glacier, and 9 mi ENE of Cape Berteaux, on the W coast of Graham Land. This general area was first sighted and roughly charted in 1909 by the FrAE under Charcot, who gave the name "Cap Pierre Baudin" to a cape in this vicinity. The peaks previously described were roughly surveyed in 1936 by the BGLE under Rymill, but no name was assigned to them. The peaks were resurveyed in 1948-49 by the FIDS, who subsequently identified them as the feature named "Cap Pierre Baudin" by Charcot. Named by Charcot for Pierre Baudin, then port engineer at Pernambuco (now Recife), where the Pourquoi-Pas? put in on her return from the Antarctic. |
