Dr. Jean Antoine Variclé, also known as Anthony Variclé and Antony Variclé, (1853 - July 26, 1907) was an aeronaut, gold prospector, and dentist from France who compiled a photo album of gold rush scenes from the Yukon Territory. He planned a balloon mission to the Klondike in search of the missing Andree party in 1897, and later planned a polar expedition that received major news coverage. Neither expedition took place and he worked as a dentist.[1] He was eulogized in the New York Times July 27, 1907.[2][3] He organized the International Society for Polar Research and Experiment in 1905.[4]
He was born in 1853 in France.[5] He presented his photographs to the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers in 1906.[4]
