1738-39 French Naval Expedition (Jean Bouvet de Lozier, aboard Aigle and Marie)

Marks the discovery of the small island of Bouvet (Bouvetøya), though Bouvet was assigned an incorrect latitude and remained unknown until it was rediscovered in 1808. The island is now a Norwegian weather station though essentially uninhabitable.
