Wilhelm Archipelago

Wilhelm Archipelago

Wilhelm Archipelago (coord|65|8|S|64|20|W|) is an island archipelago off the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula in Antarctica.

Wilhelm Archipelago consists of a myriad of islands, the largest of which are Booth Island and Hovgaard Island. The archipelago extends from Bismarck Strait southwest to Lumus Rock, off the west coast of Graham Land. It was discovered by a German expedition under Eduard Dallmann, 1873-74. He named them for Wilhelm I, then Emperor of Germany and King of Prussia.
