Margaret Hill (78°12′S 162°55′E / 78.200°S 162.917°E / -78.200; 162.917) is a peak rising to 1,874 metres (6,150 ft) on Rucker Ridge, 5 nautical miles (9 km) east of Mount Rucker, in the Royal Society Range of Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was named after Margaret Clark, a geologist with the 1977–78 New Zealand Geological Survey field party in this area. The form of the name has been selected to avoid redundancy of the name "Clark" in the region.[1]
