Cape Leguillou

Cape Leguillou (63°32′S 59°50′W / 63.533°S 59.833°W / -63.533; -59.833Coordinates: 63°32′S 59°50′W / 63.533°S 59.833°W / -63.533; -59.833) is a point which forms the northern tip of Tower Island, at the northeast end of the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. It was charted by a French expedition under Captain Jules Dumont d'Urville, 1837–40, and named by him for Élie Le Guillou, a surgeon on the expedition ship Zélée. The name form approved is in agreement with the charts of the d'Urville expedition and has been consistently used since that time.[1][2]
