Rescapé Islands (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.) is a small group of rocky islands lying 0.5 nautical miles (0.93 km) northwest of Cape Margerie along the Adélie Coast. Surveyed by the French Antarctic Expedition (1949–51) under Andre Liotard, and named in remembrance of an incident of the disembarcation at nearby Port Martin station, when a ship's boat was carried away by the wind.
