Isla Gonzalo is a subantarctic island, uninhabited except for a weather and research station operated by the Chilean Navy. With an area of 38 hectares (94 acres) it is the second largest of the Chilean Diego Ramírez Archipelago after Isla Bartolomé. The archipelago lies in the Drake Passage between the continents of South America and Antarctica. It is an important breeding site for black-browed (over 6000 pairs) and grey-headed (over 4000 pairs) albatrosses, as well as for southern giant petrels.[1][2]

L'île Gonzalo, en espagnol : Isla Gonzalo, est une île sub-antarctique inhabitée. D'une superficie de 38 ha, elle est, par sa taille, la deuxième île de l'archipel Diego Ramírez, derrière l'île Bartolomé. Cet archipel est situé dans le passage de Drake entre l'Amérique du Sud et l'Antarctique. Elle a été nommée d'après Gonzalo García de Nodal, l'un des deux chefs de l'expédition Garcia de Nodal qui visite l'archipel en 1619.
