The Trinity Island (English Trinity Iceland, French Ile de la Trinité, Spanish Isla Trinidad ) is a 24 km long and 10 km wide island with an area of 208 km ². It is located in the north of the Palmer Archipelago off the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula.

The island was named by Otto Nordenskjold, leader of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1901-1903), in memory of Edward Bransfields "Trinity Land" Trinity Island. Already in 1820 explored the British explorers Bransfield the waters north of the Antarctic Peninsula and mapped it the Trinity Island.

In the north of the island rises pyramidal, her highest peak reaches 1119 m there. The southwest of the island is a flat plateau, which carries a icecap.
