Crozet expedition

The Crozet expedition was a series of exploratory missions led by Captain Johan Christian Möringer Crozet in the late 18th century, focusing on the southern Indian Ocean. The main goal was to chart uncharted maritime routes and gather scientific data, including mapping coastlines and studying ocean currents. Crozet's work contributed valuable geographic knowledge and helped improve navigation for future voyages. His expeditions are significant for their contribution to our understanding of remote parts of the Indian Ocean and for expanding European exploration during that era.
