The Sigurdsvodene are an isolated group of hills in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . The hills rise around 30 km northwest of the Drygalskiberge at the northern end of the Otterflya .
Norwegian cartographers, who also made the designation, mapped it using surveys and aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960). It is named after the Norwegian topographer and polar explorer Sigurd Helle (1920–2013), who led this research trip.
