Étienne Fjord

Étienne Fjord (65°9′S 63°13′W) is a bay 5 nautical miles (9 km) long, lying between Bolsón Cove and Thomson Cove on the south side of Flandres Bay, along the west coast of Graham Land. It was charted by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1903–05, and named by Jean-Baptiste Charcot for Eugène Étienne (1844–1921), a French politician who was Vice President of the French Chamber of Deputies, 1902–04, and Minister of War, 1905–06.[1]
