COMPOSITE GAZETTEER OF ANTARCTICA

A low rocky promontory formingthe northern entrance point to New Harbour on the east coast of Victoria Land. Discovered by the NAE, 1901-04, and named for Louis C Bernachhi, physicist with the expedition. Bernacchi was a Tasmanian scientist who trained in Melbourne as a meteorologist, accompanied Borchgrevink's 1899-1900 expedition to Cape Adare, and was one of the party who spent the winter of 1899 there. After being magnetologist at Melbourne University for two years he returned to the Antarctic in charge of Scott's magnetic survey section in 1902.

Rocky cape between Bernacchi Bay and New Harbor on the coast of Victoria Land. Discovered by the BrNAE, 1901-04, under Scott, and named by him for Louis C. Bernacchi, physicist with the expedition.

Lake Franzmann is a saline lake approximately 400 m by 150 m in area on the northern shore of Long Fjord in the Vestfold Hills. The lake surface is only marginally above sea-level, and water flows into and from the lake at very high tide during summer. The maximum recorded depth is 8 m. The lake is permanently stratified and therefore meromictic. Little is known about the biology of Lake Franzmann although a wide variety of planktonic diatoms have been observed in the lake in poor condition. These were probably a result of marine water inflow. Similarly, one or two species of harpacticoid copepod have been found in the lake during winter although no live samples have been obtained.
