The Wilhelm Archipelago is a chain of islands off the western coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, stretching from the Bismarck Strait southwest to Lumus Rock along the edge of Graham Land. Booth Island and Hovgaard Island are its most prominent islands. A German expedition led by Eduard Dallmann discovered the archipelago in 1873-74 and named it for Wilhelm I, the German Emperor and King of Prussia at the time. The archipelago is uninhabited and falls under the governance of the Antarctic Treaty System.
