Guyou Islands

The Guyou Islands (65°3′S 63°24′W) are a small group of islands lying 3 km (2 mi) northeast of Sonia Point in Flandres Bay, off the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. They were first charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache (1897–99), and named for Emile Guyou (1843–1915), a French mathematician who prepared a report on the magnetic results of the expedition.[1]
