Labbé Rock (Labbé, Islote)
Largo Island is an elongated island, 1 nmi in extent, which is the largest of the Duroch Islands, Graham Land, Antarctica. It lies 1 nmi west of Halpern Point, Trinity Peninsula. The Chilean Antarctic Expedition, 1947–48, charted the feature as three islands to which the personal names Rozas, Swett, and Horn were applied. It was charted as one island by Martin Halpern, leader of the University of Wisconsin geological party in this area, 1961–62, who reported the name "Largo" (meaning long) to be the only one used by Chilean officials at the nearby General Bernardo O'Higgins Station.

Several rocks in the water off Largo Island have been charted and named by the Chilean Antarctic Expedition. Labbé Rock lies about 0.7 nmi northwest of Largo Island. It is named for First Lieutenant Custodio Labbé Lippi, navigation officer of the transport ship Angamos. The Acuña Rocks, also known as Islote Acuña, are a pair of rocks lying 0.4 mi west of Largo Island, named after Sub-Teniente Acuña, a member of the Chilean expedition. Vidaurre Rock breaks the surface at low water just 0.05 nautical miles (0.1 km) east of the main group of the Acuña Rocks.

Country - Antarctica
Antarctica is Earth's southernmost and least-populated continent. Situated almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle and surrounded by the Southern Ocean (also known as the Antarctic Ocean), it contains the geographic South Pole. Antarctica is the fifth-largest continent, being about 40% larger than Europe, and has an area of 14200000 km2. Most of Antarctica is covered by the Antarctic ice sheet, with an average thickness of 1.9 km.

Antarctica is, on average, the coldest, driest, and windiest of the continents, and it has the highest average elevation. It is mainly a polar desert, with annual precipitation of over 200 mm along the coast and far less inland. About 70% of the world's freshwater reserves are frozen in Antarctica, which, if melted, would raise global sea levels by almost 60 m. Antarctica holds the record for the lowest measured temperature on Earth, −89.2 C. The coastal regions can reach temperatures over 10 C in summer. Native species of animals include mites, nematodes, penguins, seals and tardigrades. Where vegetation occurs, it is mostly in the form of lichen or moss.
