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.
