From 1908-10, another expedition followed with the ship Pourquoi-Pas, exploring the Bellingshausen Sea and the Amundsen Sea and discovering Loubet Land, Marguerite Bay and Charcot Island, which was named after his father, the neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot. He explored Rockall in 1921 and Eastern Greenland and Svalbard from 1925-36. He died when the Pourquoi-Pas was wrecked in a storm off the coast of Iceland in 1936.
