Name Latitude Longitude Feature Type
Armadillo Hill (GBR) 68° 07' 00.0" S 66° 23' 00.0" W Hill
Name ID: 107567 Place ID: 511

rising to 1760m, ENE of Stonington Island, Fallières Coast, was roughly surveyed by BGLE in 1936 (Rymill, 1938a, map facing p.432) and by USAS; re-surveyed by FIDS from Stonington Island in 1946-47 and so named from its shape (APC, 1955, p.4; DCS 601 sheet 68 66, 1955). Sawtooth, as rejected name (USBGN, 1956, p.46).

Armadillo Hill (USA) 68° 07' 00.0" S 66° 22' 00.0" W Hill
Name ID: 121914 Place ID: 511

Ice-covered hill which rises to 1,760 m and projects 120 m above the surrounding ice sheet, situated on the Graham Land plateau 4 mi ESE of the head of Northeast Glacier and 8 mi NE of the head of Neny Fjord. First roughly surveyed by the BGLE, 1934-37, and resurveyed in 1940 by sledging parties of the USAS on whose field charts the hill is labeled "Sawtooth." Named Armadillo Hill by the FIDS following its 1946-47 survey, because when viewed from the NE the tumbled ice blocks on the summit and general shape of the hill resemble the side view of an armadillo.
