The Narabi Rocks ( Norwegian Rekkjenabbane ) are a formation of three juxtaposed rocks on the Crown Prince Olav Coast in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . They extend over a length of 3 km between Temmondai Rock and Kozō Rock .
They were mapped and photographed by participants in the Japanese Antarctic Expedition, which lasted from 1957 to 1962 and which they named 並 び 岩 Narabi-iwa (Japanese for 'row of rocks'). The US Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names translated the Japanese name into English in 1968.
