Clipperton Rock is located in the southeast of Clipperton Island.^[1] It constitutes the only emerged point of a chain of submarine mountains and volcanoes known as the East Pacific Rise.^[2] It is composed of trachyandesite^[3][4] and constitutes the last fragment of the neck of the volcano before becoming dormant.^[5][6]

Elongated in shape and approximately a hundred meters in length the rock has many cavities large enough to walk though.^[1] It rises to an altitude of 29 meters,^[7] almost entirely surrounded by the waters of the lagoon it is only connected to the rest of the atoll by a narrow strip of land to the east.^[1] A geodetic marker from the IGN has been affixed to the rock.^[8]
