The Digges Islands[1] (Inuit: Saaqqayaaq-Qikirtasiit)[2] are members of the Arctic Archipelago in the territory of Nunavut. The two islands, West Digges and East Digges, are located in Digges Sound, an arm of Hudson Bay, where the strong currents of the bay meet Hudson Strait.
The hamlet of Ivujivik, on the Ungava Peninsula, is south of the islands. East Digges Island is closer to the northern tip of the Ungava Peninsula than West Digges. Mansel Island is to the southwest, while Nottingham Island is to the north.
The islands' rocky cliffs topography is ideal for seabirds; thick-billed murre colonies are abundant.
