Wigg Islands (67°32′S 62°34′E / 67.533°S 62.567°E / -67.533; 62.567) is a group of six small islands, 6 nautical miles (11 km) northwest of the Flat Islands in Holme Bay, Mac. Robertson Land, Antarctica. They were mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and named Mesteinene (the middle stones). In 1962 they were renamed by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) for Dr. D.R. Wigg, medical officer at Mawson Station.
