The '''Mikkelsen Islands''' are a small group of islands and rocks lying off the southeast coast of [[Adelaide Island]], {{convert|2|nmi|km|0|disp=flip}} southeast of the [[Léonie Islands]]. They were discovered by the [[French Antarctic Expedition]] under [[Jean-Baptiste Charcot]] in 1908–10 and named by him for [[Otto Mikkelsen]], the Norwegian diver who inspected the damaged hull of the ''Pourquoi-Pas'' at [[Deception Island]].
