Langhovde Hills

The Langhovde Hills are an extensive area of bare rocky hills along the eastern shore of Lützow-Holm Bay, just south of Hovde Bay in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. They were mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition in 1936–37, and named descriptively Langhovde ("long knoll").[1]
