The Sigaren (Norwegian for cigars ) are two islands off the Prince Harald coast of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . They are 5.5 km west of the Hovdeneset in the eastern part of the Lützow-Holm Bay .
Norwegian cartographers mapped them using aerial photographs of the Lars Christensen Expedition in 1936/37 and named them descriptively according to their shape.
