Charcot Fan (66°0′S 86°0′W / 66.000°S 86.000°W / -66.000; -86.000) 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]
