Template: Infobox Island / Maintenance / image missing

The Dundee Island (english Dundee Iceland ) is an ice-covered island off the northeastern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula and south of Joinville Island. It is part of a group of islands around the peninsula of Graham country that is closer than any other parts of the continent towards South America. Its area is 383.3 km ².

On 8 January 1893, the island of Captain Thomas Robertson of the Dundee Whaling Expedition was discovered and named after the home port of his ship Dundee Active.

From this island the American Lincoln Ellsworth began on November 23, 1935 with the pilot Herbert Hollick - Kenyon ( 1897-1975 ) to the first crossing of the Antarctic by plane.

On the island there is the Argentine Petrel station because it also falls within the Argentine territory claimed.
