This name originates from United States of America. It is part of the United States Gazetteer and the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.
A line of hills and bluffs, including Coalsack Bluff, lying E of Lewis Cliffs, between Law Glacier and Walcott Neve. The hills trend SW for 16 mi from Mount Sirius. Named for Edwin H. Colbert, curator of vertebrate paleontology at the American Museum of Natural History, leader of the paleontology team with the Ohio State University Geological Expedition, 1969-70, which discovered Lystrosaurus fossils in these hills. The discovery is one of the truly significant fossil finds, with great implications on calculations concerning Gondwanaland.
