Astrolabe Needle (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.) is a conspicuous monolith rising 50 metres (160 ft) above sea level south of Claude Point, Brabant Island, in the Palmer Archipelago. It was discovered by the French Antarctic Expedition under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, 1903–05, and named after the Astrolabe, one of the ships of the French expedition under Captain Jules Dumont d'Urville, 1837–40.
