Group of about 10 nunataks lying S of Saturn Glacier and 8 mi W of Corner Cliffs, in the SE part of Alexander Island. First seen and photographed from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth on Nov. 23, 1935, and mapped from these photos by W.L.G. Joerg. Surveyed in 1949 by the FIDS, and so named by the UK-APC because of asssociation with Saturn Glacier, Hyperion being one of the satellites of Saturn. |
