Narrative

Fue descubierto por miembros de la Base Este del USAS, quienes exploraron esta costa por tierra y desde el aire en 1940. Ellos le dieron el nombre de cabo Hill, por Archie C. Hill, cocinero de la Base Este. En 1947, determinó que era un monte que se distinguía del cabo Sharbonneau hacia el NE, una expedición en conjunto de miembros del RARE y del FIDS. Monte de 945 metros de altura, que se levanta aproximadamente 9 millas al SW del cabo Sharbonneau en el costado E del saco de ensenada Lehrke, en la costa E de la península Tierra de O'Higgins.
