The
Diego Ramírez Islands are a small group of
islands located in the southernmost extreme of
Chile about west-southwest of
Cape Horn and south-southeast of
Ildefonso Islands, stretching north-south. They are divided into a smaller northern group with six islets, and a larger southern group, separated by a passage wide. The two largest islands,
Isla Bartolomé and
Isla Gonzalo, both lie in the southern group. The islands contain the southernmost point of the
South American continent.
Águila Islet (
Islote Águila), the southernmost land of the group, is at 56°32'9"S.
