This is the first taxonomic study of the sponges of Joinville Island (Bransfield Strait, Antarctica). In total, 10 species were identified, viz. Iophon terranovae, Artemisina apollinis, Myxilla (Ectyomyxilla) mariana, Mycale (Oxymycale) acerata, Isodictya erinacea, Haliclona (Gellius) rudis, Haliclona (Rhizoniera) dancoi, Haliclonissa verrucosa, Microxina benedeni and Microxina phakelloides. Iophon terranovae and M. (E.) mariana are recorded for the first time for this Antarctic region; I. terranovae, M. (E.) mariana, H. verrucosa and M. phakelloides had their bathymetric ranges extended.
