A steep hill rising on the west side of the Skelton Glacier between Ant Hill Glacier and Dilemma Glacier.
Surveyed and named in 1957 by the N.Z. party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (CTAE), 1956-58. So named by geological members because of the prominent anticline in the bluff below the hill. An anticline is an upward rock fold like an arch. Ant Hill was climbed in early February 1957 by Heine, Warren, and Gunn of the Geological part of the expedition.
