Lockwood Island is located at the mouth of Weyprecht Fjord, its western shore forming the eastern side of the area at the entrance of the fjord. On the eastern shore of the island 3 km (1.9 mi) broad Conger Sound separates it from Cape Kane in Roosevelt Land in the mainland whose northernmost point is Cape Washington to the east beyond Hunt Fjord. The island rises to a height of 760 m (2,490 ft) at Mount Schley.[1][2]
Cape Christiansen is the headland at the northern end and small Brainard Island lies 2.7 km (1.7 mi) west of the island's western shore. The waters around Lockwood Island are icebound most of the year.[4]
