Clinker Gulch is a gulch extending from Lucifer Hill to the north shore of Candlemas Island in the South Sandwich Islands. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1971 for the actively volcanic, sulphurous character of the area, where loose piles of lava debris resembling furnace clinkers wall the gulch.
