Beacon Hill (68°4′S 66°23′W / 68.067°S 66.383°W) is an ice-covered, dome-shaped hill of elevation 1,810 m which rises 120 m above the surrounding plateau ice surface. It is situated in the south part of Hemimont Plateau in Graham Land, Antarctica 2.5 mi northeast of McLeod Hill. The hill surmounts the divide between Northeast Glacier and Bills Gulch. It was surveyed and named by the U.S. Antarctic Service (USAS), 1939–41; the hill may have been the site of a beacon at that time. The U.S. Antarctic Service (USAS) operated a plateau weather station close southwestward (68°07' S, 66°30' W) of the hill throughout November and December 1940. The hill was further surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Stonington Island between 1946-50.

  • Beacon Hill är en kulle i Antarktis. Den ligger i Västantarktis. Argentina, Chile och Storbritannien gör anspråk på området. Toppen på Beacon Hill är 1 810 meter över havet, eller 60 meter över den omgivande terrängen. Bredden vid basen är 13,2 km. Terrängen runt Beacon Hill är varierad. Den högsta punkten i närheten är 1 849 meter över havet, 8,3 kilometer väster om Beacon Hill. Trakten är obefolkad. Det finns inga samhällen i närheten. (sv)

  • Der Beacon Hill (englisch für Leuchtfeuerhügel) ist ein kuppelförmiger und eisbedeckter Hügel von 1810 m Höhe im Grahamland im Norden der Antarktischen Halbinsel. Er ragt 4 km nordöstlich des McLeod Hill an der Wasserscheide zwischen dem Northeast-Gletscher und der Bills Gulch nur 120 m über das zentrale Eisplateau hinaus auf. Eine erste Vermessung erfolgte durch die United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939–1941). Vermutlich gab es zu dieser Zeit ein namensgebendes Leuchtfeuer auf dem Gipfel des Hügels. Zwischen November und Dezember 1940 unterhielt der United States Antarctic Service südwestlich des Hügels bei 68° 7′ S, 66° 30′ W eine Wetterstation. (de)
