The Lauzanne Cove ( French Baie Lauzanne ) is a 3 km wide bay on the Danco coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It is located south of the Guyou Islands on the south bank of the Bay of Flanders .
Participants in the Fourth French Antarctic Expedition (1903-1905) under the direction of polar explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot were the first to map them. Charcot named it after the French newspaper journalist Stéphane Lauzanne, who was editor-in-chief of the daily Le Matin from 1900 to 1915 . The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee transferred the French name to English on September 23, 1960.
