The Klakkane Islands are a group of small islands lying 3 kilometres (1.5 nmi) east of Farrington Island in the William Scoresby Archipelago, Antarctica. They were charted and named Klakkane (the lumps) by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition in January 1937.[1]
