Henderson Hill

Henderson Hill (77°34′21″S 163°11′27″E / 77.57250°S 163.19083°E / -77.57250; 163.19083Coordinates: 77°34′21″S 163°11′27″E / 77.57250°S 163.19083°E / -77.57250; 163.19083) is an ice free summit 0.8 nautical miles (1.5 km) northeast of Mount Falconer, rising to 700 metres (2,300 ft) on the north side of Taylor Valley in Victoria Land, Antarctica. The name Henderson Hill appears in a 1968 report and geologic sketch map of the area prepared by the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition (VUWAE), 1965–66, and is presumably named after Robert A. Henderson, a member of the VUWAE field party, and later with the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts.[1]
