# Rauer Islands

The Rauer Islands (68°51′S 77°50′E﻿ / ﻿68.850°S 77.833°E﻿ / -68.850; 77.833) are a group of rocky coastal islands which lie between Sorsdal Glacier Tongue and Ranvik Bay, in the southeast part of Prydz Bay. Discovered and roughly charted in February 1935 by a Norwegian expedition under Captain Klarius Mikkelsen (see Caroline Mikkelsen). He named them Rauer, probably after the island lying in Oslofjorden opposite Tønsberg, Norway.
