Spallanzani Point

Spallanzani Point (64°8′S 61°59′W) is a point forming the north side of the entrance to Hill Bay and the east tip of Albena Peninsula and Brabant Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. Probably first seen by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99, under Gerlache. Mapped in 1959 from photos taken by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd. in 1956–57. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Lazzaro Spallanzani (1729–1799), Italian physiologist who first interpreted the process of digestion in 1780.

gollark: Hmm, this actually does shave off about 25% of the runtime.

gollark: I could use cmark instead, but then extending it would be so many 🐝.

gollark: Should I just file an issue saying "horrible performance issues please help"? That seems mean.

gollark: Also, performance is identical (I tested on my test file, which doesn't use emphasis, which is the bit I ended up breaking).

gollark: So it compiles now, with the linked lists mostly gone, but it will not actually work due to mysterious fatal errors.
