The Lemaire Channel is
flanked by the
Antarctic Peninsula on
one side and Booth
Island on the other.
So photogenic is the
channel that it is
sometimes called
"Kodak Gap". At the
northern end of the Lemaire Channel are a
pair of tall, rounded
snow-capped peaks
known as
Una's Tits.
The channel was first
navigated by Belgian
explorer de Gerlach
during his 1898
expedition aboard
Belgica. It was
somehow
named after another Belgian
explorer -- Charles Lemaire, who explored
parts of the Congo. |
