Between 1837 and 1840, marine hydrographer Vincendon-Dumoulin accompanied Dumont d’Urville aboard the Astrolabe on his voyage to New Zealand and, during this voyage, he discovered (and mapped) what is now known as “Adelie Land,” a previously unknown part of the coast of Antarctica.

His skill is praised by Jules Verne in his work “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” by Captain Nemo.
