GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF ANTARCTICA 



HIGH STILE: pass at the head of Sunshine Gl., 

 about 1,200 ft. in el., situated at the junction of the 

 SW. ridge of Mt. Nivea and the E. end of Brisbane 

 Plateau in the central part of Coronation I., South 

 Orkney Is.; in 60°36'S., 45°32'W. The name arises 

 from the general appearance and situation of the 

 feature and was applied by the FIDS following their 

 survey of 1948-49. 



Hill, Cape: see Hill, Mount. 



HILL, MOUNT: mountain about 3,100 ft. in el., 

 standing about 8 mi. SW. of Cape Sharbonneau at 

 the E. side of the head of Lehrke Inlet, on the E. 

 coast of Palmer Pen.; in 70°56'S., 61°42'W. Disc, 

 by members of the East Base of the USAS who ex- 

 plored this coast by land and from the air in 1940. 

 They named it Cape Hill for Archie C. Hill, cook at 

 East Base. In 1947 it was determined to be a 

 mountain distinct from Cape Sharbonneau to the 

 NE. by a joint sledge party consisting of members 

 of the RARE and the FIDS. Not adopted: Cape 

 Hill. 



Hill Island: see Snow Hill Island. 



Hilton Bay: see Hilton Inlet. 



HILTON INLET: ice-filled inlet, about 12 mi. 

 wide, which recedes about 20 mi. W. from its en- 

 trance between Capes Darlington and Knowles, 

 along the E. coast of Palmer Pen.; in 71°57'S., 

 61°20'W. Disc, by the USAS in 1940, and named 

 for Donald C. Hilton, member of the East Base 

 sledge party that charted this coast as far S. as 

 this inlet. Not adopted: Hilton Bay. 



HINKS, CAPE: bold headland surmounted by an 

 ice-covered dome about 1,600 ft. in el., forming the 

 NE. extremity of Finley Ridge, on the E. coast of 

 Palmer Pen.; in 69°10'S., 63°10'W. Disc, and 

 photographed by Sir Hubert Wilkins on his flight 

 of Dec. 20, 1928. Later photographed from the air 

 by Lincoln Ellsworth in 1935, and by the USAS in 

 1940. Named by the US-SCAN for Arthur R. 

 Hinks, Sec. of the Royal Geographical Soc, 1915-45, 

 who undertook in his published studies to reconcile 

 the explorations of Wilkins, Ellsworth, Rymill and 

 the USAS in this general area. Not adopted: Cape 

 Cross. 



HINKS, MOUNT: peak about 2,100 ft. in el., lying 

 about 2 mi. S. of Mt. Marsden in the Gustav Bull 

 Mtns., on Mac-Robertson Coast; in about 67°53'S., 

 66°04'E. The BANZARE under Mawson sighted 

 land and made an aerial observation flight in this 

 area in early January 1930. The exp. landed on 

 nearby Scullin Monolith on Feb. 13, 1931, and 

 named this peak for Arthur R. Hinks. 



HINKS CHANNEL: irregular-shaped channel in 

 the N. part of Laubeuf Fjord, about 2 mi. wide and 

 11 mi. long, which extends from The Gullet and 

 separates Day I. from the W. coast of Palmer Pen. 

 and from Wyatt I.; in 67°16'S., 67'37'W. First 

 roughly surveyed in 1936 by the BGLE under Ry- 

 mill. Resurveyed in 1948 by the FIDS who named 

 it for Arthur R. Hinks. 



HIPPO ISLET: steep, rocky islet, about 0.5 mi. 

 long and 22 yards wide, which rises about 400 ft. 

 above the Shackleton Ice Shelf, about 1.5 mi. N. of 

 Delay Pt., off Queen Mary Coast; in about 66°26'S., 

 98°06'E. Disc, by the Western Base Party of the 

 AAE under Mawson, 1911-14, who so named it be- 

 cause of its shape. Not adopted: Hippo Island, 

 Hippo Nunatak, Hippo Nunataks. 



HIPPOLYTE POINT: point which marks the N. 

 end of Lion I., which lies immediately E. of Anvers 

 I. in the Palmer Arch.; in 64°39'S., 63°07'W. 

 Charted and named by the BelgAE under De 

 Gerlache, 1897-99. Not adopted: Cape Hippolyte. 



Hippo Nunatak: see Hippo Islet. 



HITCHCOCK, MOUNT: a mostly ice-covered 

 mountain, about 5,200 ft. in el., standing at the S. 

 side of Mobiloil Inlet, on the E. coast of Palmer 

 Pen.; in about 68°53'S., 64°51'W. Disc, and photo- 

 graphed by Sir Hubert Wilkins on his flight of Dec. 

 20, 1928, and rephotographed by Lincoln Ellsworth 

 in 1935. Named by the US-ACAN in 1952 for 

 Charles B. Hitchcock of the American Geograph- 

 ical Soc, who by utilizing these photographs as- 

 sisted in constructing the first reconnaissance map 

 of this area. 



HJALMAR JOHANSEN, MOUNT: mountain 

 which stands at the S. side of Mt. Gjertsen in the 

 N. part of the La Gorce Mtns., in the Queen Maud 

 Range; in about 86°43'S., 147°30'W. Disc, on the 

 Polar Flight by the ByrdAE on Nov. 28-29, 1929. 

 Charted by the Southern Sledge Party of the 

 ByrdAE in 1934. So named in an attempt to rec- 

 oncile the 1934 discoveries with the names applied 

 by Roald Amundsen, who named a peak in this vi- 

 cinity for Hjalmar Johansen, member of the East- 

 ern Sledge Party of a Nor. exp. under Amundsen, 

 1910-12. Not adopted: Mount Thurston. 



HJORTH HILL: rounded mountain about 2,900 

 ft. in el., standing on the N. side of New Hbr. about 

 7 m. SW. of Cape Bernacchi, in Victoria Land; in 

 about 77°32'S., 163°33'E. Charted by the BrAE 

 under Scott, 1910-13, and named for the maker of 

 the primus lamps used by the exp. This name is 

 spelled Hjort's Hill in the popular narrative of 

 Scott's exp., but the spelling Hjorth's Hill is used
