The Clark Hills (70°43′S 63°25′W / 70.717°S 63.417°W / -70.717; -63.417) are a cluster of low, mainly snow-covered hills of about 4 nautical miles (7 km) extent, located 5 nautical miles (9 km) southwest of the Eland Mountains in Palmer Land. They were mapped by the United States Geological Survey in 1974, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Kerry B. Clark, United States Antarctic Research Program biologist on the International Weddell Sea Oceanographic Expeditions in 1968 and 1969.[1]
