Charcot Fan (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.) is a deep-sea formation in the Southern Ocean. It lies off the coast of the West Antarctic Ellsworth Land.[1]
The Charcot Fan is an abyssal fan specifically located between the Bellingshausen Plain and the continental shelf of the Bellingshausen Sea.[2]
It is named after the French polar explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot (1867–1936). The US Advisory Committee for Undersea Features (ACUF) confirmed the designation in June 1988.[1]
