A group of rounded hills on the coast between Denman Glacier and Scott Glacier. The hills were plotted by the Western Base Party of the AAE (1911-14) as a great rock face. They were plotted in greater detail from aerial photographs taken by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47) and later by the Soviet expedition (1956). Named by the latter for Vladimir A. Obruchev, Soviet geologist (1863-1956).
