Claquebue Island is a rocky island 0.5 kilometres (0.25 nmi) long, lying 0.1 kilometres (0.05 nmi) east of Dru Rock in the Curzon Islands. It was charted in 1951 by the French Antarctic Expedition and named by them, for the village in La Jument Verte, a novel much read and appreciated by members of the French expedition.[1]
