This is a List of Antarctic and sub-Antarctic islands. Sub-Antarctic islands are islands in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica north of the Antarctic Circle (66° 33' 38"). Antarctic islands are the islands in the Southern Ocean or in the seas around Antarctica south of the Antarctic Circle. According to the terms of the Antarctic Treaty, claims to sovereignty over lands south of 60°S are not asserted. This includes all of the Antarctic islands and some of the sub-Antarctic islands.
