The Glandaz Point ( French Pointe Glandaz ) is a headland on the Graham coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It forms the south side of the entrance to Deloncle Bay .
Participants in the Belgica expedition (1897–1899) led by the Belgian polar explorer Adrien de Gerlache de Gomery were probably the first to sight this headland. Participants of the Fourth French Antarctic Expedition (1903-1905) under the direction of polar explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot sighted them again. Charcot named it after Albert Ernest Glandaz (1870-1944), French sailing olympian and from 1913 to 1944 member of the IOC .
