The Aagaard Islands, also known as the Bjarne Aagaard Islands, are a group of small islands lying west of Proclamation Island and Cape Batterbee, near the coast of Antarctica in the Southern Ocean. They were discovered in January 1930 by the British, Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition under Sir Douglas Mawson, and were named for Bjarne Aagaard.
