The Larsen Islands or C. A. Larsen are a small group of islands lying 1 mile northwest of Moreton Point, the western extremity of Coronation Island, in the South Orkney Islands. The Larsen Islands are located at 60°36′S 46°04′W / 60.600°S 46.067°W / -60.600; -46.067. The Larsen Islands were discovered by Captain George Powell and Captain Nathaniel Palmer on the occasion of their joint cruise in December 1821. The Larsen Islands were named on Captain Petter Sørlle's chart, based upon his survey of the South Orkney Islands in 1912-1913, in honor of Captain C.A. Larsen.
