Hesperides Hill

Hesperides Hill

Hesperides Hill (Halm Hesperides 'h&lm he-spe-'ri-des) is a ridge linked by a saddle of elevation 52 m with the northern slopes of Atlantic Club Ridge in eastern Livingston Island. The hill surmounts the South Bay coast N of Johnsons Dock to the SW, and Bulgarian Beach to the NE and is bounded to the SW by Sea Lion Glacier. The ridge extends 420 m in SSE-NNW direction and is 250 m wide and narrowing towards NNW. Hesperides Hill has two heights, 94 and 63 m, the latter surmounting Hespérides Point. The hill is snow-free in summer months and is named from the adjacent Hespérides Point.
