Campbell Hills (Antarctica)

Campbell Hills (82°26′00″S 163°47′00″E) is a group of hills 5 nautical miles (9.3 km) west-southwest of Cape Lyttelton on the south side of Nimrod Glacier. They were mapped by the U.S. Geological Survey from tellurometer surveys and Navy air photos between 1960 and 1962, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for William J. Campbell, a U.S. Antarctic Research Program glaciologist at the Ross Ice Shelf, 1962–63.
