Welchness (63°29′S 56°14′W / 63.483°S 56.233°W) is a gravel spit which forms the west extremity of Dundee Island in the Joinville Island group. Roughly charted by the Dundee whaling expedition (1892–93) and named after Captain George Welch (d.1891), a leading Dundee whaler and Manger, from about 1860 onward, of the Jay Whale Fishing Company, which for many years owned the Dundee whaling expedition ship Active.
