Cape Carnot
6.4.1802. Baudin. Named after Lazare Carnot (right) (1753-1823), a shrewd organiser who was one of the few members of the notorious Committee for Public Safety to keep his head during the French Revolution. He later served Napoleon as Minister for War and managed to survive his downfall, although exiled. Whether this pioneer of the concept of total war deserved a cape named after him is questionable.
