The '''Rauer Islands''' ({{coord|68|51|S|77|50|E|display=inline,title}}) are a group of rocky coastal [island](/source/island)s which lie between [Sorsdal Glacier Tongue](/source/Sorsdal_Glacier_Tongue) and [Ranvik Bay](/source/Ranvik_Bay), in the southeast part of [Prydz Bay](/source/Prydz_Bay). Discovered and roughly charted in February 1935 by a Norwegian expedition under Captain [Klarius Mikkelsen](/source/Klarius_Mikkelsen) (see [Caroline Mikkelsen](/source/Caroline_Mikkelsen)). He named them ''Rauer'', probably after the island lying in [Oslofjord](/source/Oslofjord)en opposite [Tønsberg](/source/T%C3%B8nsberg), Norway.
