 mi. WSW. of the head of Howkins Inlet, on the E. 

 coast of Palmer Pen.; in 73°44'S., 61°28'W. Disc, 

 and photographed from the air in December 1940 

 by members of the USAS. During 1947 the peak

ARCTGWSKI PENINSULA: peninsula, about 15 

 mi. long in a N.-S. direction, which lies between 

 Andvord and Wilhelmina Bays and terminates in

 64°45'S., 62°25'W. Disc, by the BelgAE, 1897-99, 

 under De Gerlache and named for Henryk Arc- 

 towski. The name was suggested by the US-ACAN

 east Gl. and 10 mi. NE. of the head of Neny Fjord; 

 in 68°07'S., 66°22'W. It was first roughly surveyed 

 by the BGLE, 1934-37, and resurveyed in 1940 by 

 sledging parties of the USAS on whose field charts 

 the hill is labeled "Sawtooth." It was named 

 Armadillo Hill by the FIDS following its 1946-47 

 survey, because when viewed from the NE. the 

 tumbled ice blocks on the summit and general 

 shape of the hill resemble the side view of an 

 armadillo. Not adopted: Sawtooth.
