Adèle Dorothée Dumont d'Urville (French pronunciation: [adɛl dɔʁɔte dymɔ̃ dyʁvil]; née Pépin, also spelled as Adélie[citation needed], 1798 – 8 May 1842) was the wife of French explorer Jules Dumont d'Urville, after whom Adélie Land, Adele Island, Adélie penguin and Cape Pepin are named. While Adélie Land, Adele Island and Cape Pepin were named by Jules Dumont d'Urville in honor of his wife, the penguin was named after Adélie Land where it was discovered.[1] In 1981, an airmail postage stamp of the French Antarctic Territory featuring Adèle Dumont d'Urville was released.[2]
