Clarence Island (61°12′S, 054°05′W) is 18 km (12 mi) long and the easternmost of the South Shetland Islands. The name dates back to at least 1821 and is now established in international usage. Ernest Shackleton spotted Clarence Island on his Legendary Boat Voyage but landed on Elephant Island. It belongs to Argentina as part of "Departamento Islas del Atlántico Sur"
