Sphinx Hill

Sphinx Hill (62°11′S 58°27′W) is a conspicuous, isolated black hill, 145 m, standing 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) north-northwest of Demay Point on King George Island, South Shetland Islands. First charted by the French Antarctic Expedition under Charcot, 1908-10. The descriptive name was given by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) following a survey by Lieutenant Commander F.W. Hunt, Royal Navy, in 1951-52.
