Names that other countries have for this feature:
Hill rising to c. 100m near E end of South Beaches, Byers Peninsula, Livingston Island, was photographed from the air by FIDASE, 1956-57; named descriptively by AAE Morro Negro [=black hill] (Argentina. IGM map 3737, 1958). Cerro Negro (Chile. IH chart 1400, 1971; IHA, 1974, p.209). Negro Hill (Valenzuela and Hervé, 1972, map p.84; APC, 1980, p.4; Smellie and others, 1980, map facing p.57). The hill was surveyed by BAS geologists, 1975-76. Previously gazetted as Negro Hill (07/02/1978). The name was amended to Black Hill (08/09/2020) [APC(20)26] to resolve the inconsistency in the translation of the generic but not the specific from Spanish, and to remove use of the word 'Negro'.";10130;BAS (Misc)14, 2019;British Antarctic Survey, 2019.
