Stonington Island is a rocky island lying 1.8 km (1.1 mi) northeast of Neny Island in the eastern part of Marguerite Bay off the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It is 0.75 km (0.47 mi) long from north-west to south-east and 0.37 km (0.23 mi) wide, yielding an area of 20 ha.

German submarine U-821 was a short-lived Type VIIC U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine, built by Oderwerke in Stettin during World War II for service in the Battle of the Atlantic. She only participated in two brief combat patrols, one of which ended after four days when she was sunk by allied aircraft. U-821 was built in Stettin at a small shipyard, and thus took eighteen months to complete, being ready by October 1943.

Fishtrap Cove is a small cove 0.1 nautical miles (0.2 km) northwest of Boulder Point on the southwest side of Stonington Island, close off the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was first surveyed by the United States Antarctic Service, 1939–41, and resurveyed in 1946–47 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), who so named it because FIDS parties used this cove for setting fish traps.
Flagpole Point is a point 0.2 nautical miles (0.4 km) northwest of Fishtrap Cove, forming the southern part of the western extremity of Stonington Island, close off the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was first surveyed by the United States Antarctic Service (USAS), 1939–41, whose East Base was located on this island. It was resurveyed in 1946–47 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, and so named by them because of the flagpole which was erected by the USAS on a rocky knoll close northeast of this point.
The Harvey Shoals are three shoal patches with least depths of 3 fathoms (5.5 m), located between Miller Island and Northstar Island in Marguerite Bay, Antarctica.
