Meteorite Hills

Meteorite Hills (79°40′S 155°36′E / 79.667°S 155.6°E / -79.667; 155.6) is a group of hills, 11 nautical miles (20 km) long, forming the west portion of the Darwin Mountains. The hills are located between the heads of Darwin Glacier and Hatherton Glacier. The name was proposed by John O. Annexstad of the Meteorite Working Group, Johnson Space Center, Houston, TX, in association with field work carried out in this vicinity by Antarctic Search for Meteorites (ANSMET), led by William A. Cassidy, University of Pittsburgh, PA, during the 1978-79 season.
