Xenia Hill

Xenia Hill is the rocky hill rising to 96 m in the northeast extremity of Half Moon Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica and surmounting McFarlane Strait to the north and east, and Menguante Cove to the south-southeast. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers operating from nearby Yankee Harbour.
