The Duclos-Guyot Bluff (English; Bulgarian Връх Дюкло Гийо Wrach Djuklo Gijo ) is a 1800 m high and icy mountain on Clarence Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It rises 2.9 km northwest of Cape Bowles , 5.6 km east of Craggy Point and 2.4 km south of Mount Irving at the southern end of Urda Ridge . Its striking southern slopes are partly not iced. The Skapliso Glacier lies to the west and the Dobrodan Glacier to the northeast of it.
British scientists mapped it in 1972 and 2009. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2014 after the French navigator Nicolas Pierre Duclos-Guyot (1722–1794), deputy to Louis Antoine de Bougainville on the first French circumnavigation of the world, who in 1756 aboard the Spanish ship Léon had operated in Antarctic waters.
