Thyasira Hill (64°22′S 57°0′W) is a distinctive hill within a group of small hills rising to about 60 m, 250–300 m south of Nordenskjold's hut on Spath Peninsula, Snow Hill Island. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1995 because of the abundance of the fossil bivalve mollusk Thyasira townsendi found in this area.
