Adélie Land

Region of Antarctica, situated south of 60° south and between 136° and 142° east. It has a coastal strip which is about 140 km/87 mi long, mountainous, covered in snow and ice, and inhabited only by a research team. It covers an area of 432,000 sq km/166,800 sq mi. It was claimed for France in 1840.

It was first visited by Jules Sébastien César Dumont d'Urville in 1840 and named by him after his wife. Since 1949 French expeditions, sponsored by P E Victor and the French Polar Expedition Organization (Expéditions Polaires Françaises), have explored and mapped much unknown land here.
