Jean-Baptiste Étienne Auguste Charcot (French pronunciation:[ʒɑ̃batistʃaʁko]; 15 July 1867 – 16 September 1936), better known in France as Commandant Charcot (Commander Charcot),[1][2] was a French scientist, medical doctor and polar scientist. His father was the neurologistJean-Martin Charcot (1825–1893).
As a sportsman, he was French rugby XV champion in 1896 and also won a double silver medal in sailing at the 1900 Summer Olympics.
The Royal Geographical Society awarded its Patron's Medal to Charcot in 1911, citing "his important expeditions to the Antarctic, during which he conducted investigations of high scientific value in geology, meteorology, magnetic conditions and biology."
Later on, Jean-Baptiste Charcot explored Rockall in 1921 and Eastern Greenland and Svalbard from 1925 until 1936. He died when Pourquoi-Pas? was wrecked in a storm off the coast of Iceland in 1936.
