List of Antarctic and subantarctic islands

This is a List of Antarctic and sub-Antarctic islands.

Sub-Antarctic islands are the islands around Antarctica situated north of and adjacent to the Antarctic Convergence.
Antarctic islands are the islands around Antarctica situated south of the Antarctic Convergence, i.e. in the Antarctic region proper.

According to the terms of the Antarctic Treaty, claims to sovereignty over lands south of 60°S are not asserted. This includes some of the Antarctic islands and none of the sub-Antarctic ones.
