Joinville Island is the largest island of the Joinville Island group, about {{convert|40|nmi|km|0|abbr=in}} long in an east-west direction and {{convert|12|nmi|km|0|abbr=in}} wide, lying off the northeastern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, from which it is separated by the Antarctic Sound. Joinville Island was discovered and charted roughly during 1838 by a French expedition commanded by Captain Jules Dumont d'Urville, who named it for Prince François, Prince of Joinville (1818–1900), the third son of Louis-Philippe, Duke of Orléans.[1] It is within the Argentine, British and Chilean Antarctic claims.

Geography
