Booth Island from the south, Lemaire Channel barely visible on the right

Booth Island is a rugged island off the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula in Antarctica. The narrow passage between the island and the mainland is the scenic Lemaire Channel.

The highest point of the island is 980-meter Wandel Peak, as of 2003 still unattained despite several attempts; Damien Gildea called it "one of the most challenging unclimbed objectives on the Antarctic Peninsula".
