Hurricane Heights

The Hurricane Heights (76°44′S 160°40′E) are the irregular, mainly ice-free heights which rise to about 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) at the south side of the head of Towle Valley, in the Convoy Range of Victoria Land, Antarctica. The name was applied by a 1989–90 New Zealand Antarctic Research Programme field party to describe the windy aspect of this upland area.[1]
