The arc comprises submarine ridges and the island groups of South Orkneys, South Sandwich Islands, Clerke Rocks, South Georgia, Shag Rocks, Isla de los Estados, and Burdwood Bank [1] linking the mountains of Antarctic Peninsula to those of Tierra del Fuego (specifically the Mitre Peninsula) and the Andes.[1]
