Sealer Hill is a hill rising to 91 m in the southwest part of Byers Peninsula, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It surmounts Nikopol Point and Sevar Point to the east-southeast and west-southwest, respectively. The area was inhabited by 19th century sealers.
Contents
The feature was so named following geological work by BAS in 1975-76, from the presence of at least three crude stone huts built by sealers below the hill.
