Clarence Island is the easternmost island in the South Shetland Islands, off the coast of Antarctica. It is claimed by Argentina as part of Argentine Antarctica, by Britain as part of the British Antarctic Territory, and by Chile as part of the Chilean Antarctic Territory. The name dates back to at least 1820 and is now established in international usage, except for Russia, where it has been known as Shishkova Island since its discovery by the First Russian Antarctic Expedition in 1821.
Borchgrevink Glacier is a large glacier in the Victory Mountains, Victoria Land, Antarctica. It drains south between Malta Plateau and Daniell Peninsula, and thence projects into Glacier Strait, Ross Sea, as a floating glacier tongue.
Veststraumen Glacier is a glacier about 45 miles long draining west along the south end of Kraul Mountains into Riiser-Larsen Ice Shelf. The glacier was seen in the course of a U.S. Navy LC-130 plane flight over the coast on November 5, 1967, and was plotted by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from photographs obtained at that time. In 1969, the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) gave the name "Endurance Glacier" to this feature, but that naming was rescinded because UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) gave the identical name to a small glacier on Elephant Island. The descriptive name "Veststraumen" appears on a 1972 Norsk Polarinstitutt map.
Crean Glacier is a glacier 4 miles (6.4 km) long, flowing northwest from Wilckens Peaks to the head of Antarctic Bay on the north coast of South Georgia. It was surveyed by the South Georgia Survey in the period 1951–57 and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Irishman Tom Crean, Second Officer of the Endurance during the British expedition under Ernest Shackleton, 1914–16. Crean accompanied Shackleton and Frank Worsley in the James Caird from Elephant Island to King Haakon Bay, South Georgia, and made the overland crossing with them to Stromness; this glacier lies on the route.
Endurance Glacier is a broad glacier north of Mount Elder, draining south-east to the south coast of Elephant Island in the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica, and is the main discharge glacier on the island.

Highton Glacier is a glacier on the east coast of Clarence Island in the South Shetland Islands, south of Sugarloaf Island, flowing northeast to the sea. Called "Stamina Glacier" from the stamina needed to cross it by the Joint Services Expedition to the Elephant Island Group, 1976–77, it was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1980 after Commander John E. Highton, Royal Navy, Deputy Leader of the expedition and in charge of the group on Clarence Island.
Skaplizo Glacier is 2 nautical miles long and 0.8 nautical miles wide glacier on the west side of Urda Ridge on Clarence Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica situated south of Giridava Glacier. It drains the slopes of Mount Irving and Duclos-Guyot Bluff, flows west-northwestwards and enters the Southern Ocean northeast of Chichil Point.
Dobrodan Glacier is the 3.4 km long and 1.2 km wide glacier on the east side of Urda Ridge on Clarence Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica situated south of Highton Glacier. It drains the slopes of Mount Irving and Duclos-Guyot Bluff, flows northeastwards and enters the Southern Ocean south of Lebed Point.
Giridava Glacier is 1.5 nautical miles long and 0.6 nautical miles wide glacier on the west side of Urda Ridge on Clarence Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica situated north of Skaplizo Glacier and southwest of Bersame Glacier. It drains the slopes of Mount Irving, flows northwestwards and enters Chinstrap Cove east of Vaglen Point.
Bersame Glacier is the 2.4 km long and 1.5 km wide glacier on the west side of Urda Ridge on Clarence Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica situated northeast of Giridava Glacier. It drains the slopes of Mount Llana, flows northwestwards and enters the Southern Ocean northeast of the terminus of Giridava Glacier.
Treskavets Glacier is 1.3 nautical miles long and 0.8 nautical miles wide glacier on the east side of Ravelin Ridge on Clarence Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica situated north of Highton Glacier and south of Orcho Glacier. It drains the slopes of Jerez Peak, flows northeastwards and enters the Southern Ocean south of Gesha Point.
Orcho Glacier is 1.1 nautical miles long and 1 nautical mile wide glacier on the east side of Ravelin Ridge on Clarence Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica situated north of Treskavets Glacier and south-southwest of Banari Glacier. It flows eastwards and enters the Southern Ocean north of Gesha Point.
Banari Glacier is the 1 nautical mile long and 0.6 nautical miles wide glacier on the east side of Ravelin Ridge on Clarence Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica situated north-northeast of Orcho Glacier. It flows northeastwards and enters Smith Cove.
Eratosthenes Point is the ice-covered, rock-tipped northwest entrance point to Digges Cove on the north coast of Elephant Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica situated just west of the terminus of Snellius Glacier. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.
Snellius Glacier is the glacier extending 7 km in west–east direction and 3 km in south–north direction on the north coast of Elephant Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica draining the north slopes of Pardo Ridge and flowing northwards into Drake Passage between Eratosthenes Point and Ronalds Point. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.
