Stanton Hills (75°17′S 73°12′W) is a group of loosely clustered nunataks which extend over 12 nautical miles (22 km) and rise to about 1,300 m, centered 8 nautical miles (15 km) west of Mount Neuner, Behrendt Mountains, in southern Palmer Land. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photographs, 1961-67. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) following a visit to the area by a USGS geological party, 1985, after Lieutenant Commander Ronald A. Stanton, U.S. Navy, command pilot of an LC-130 Hercules aircraft in support of the party.
