Wilson Hills
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wilson Hills () is a group of scattered hills, nunataks and ridges that extend NW-SE for about 70 miles (110 km) between Matusevich Glacier and Pryor Glacier. They were discovered by Lieutenant H.L.L. Pennell, Royal Navy, on the Terra Nova in February 1911 during Scott's last expedition, and named after Dr. Edward A. Wilson, zoologist with the expedition, who perished with Scott on the return journey from the South Pole.
