Simpson Hills (71°47′S 63°24′W) is a cluster of ridges and nunataks located at the head of Gruening Glacier, 6 nautical miles (11 km) northwest of Owen Peak, on the Black Coast, Palmer Land. The feature was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from U.S. Navy air photos, 1966–69, and was visited by a British Antarctic Survey (BAS)-USGS joint field party, 1986-87. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) after Anthony R. Simpson, BAS general assistant, a member of the BAS-USGS field party.
