From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lehaie Point (64°30′S 62°47′W / 64.500°S 62.783°W / -64.500; -62.783) is the southwestern point of Hulot Peninsula, Brabant Island, in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. It was discovered by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99, under Gerlache, and named after Monsieur Houzeau de Lehaie, a supporter of the expedition. The French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, charted the point, substantially modifying its earlier cartographic representation.[1]
