Azimuth Hill

Azimuth Hill (63°45′S 58°16′W) is a low rocky outcrop, 85 metres (280 ft) high, which extends to Prince Gustav Channel just south of the mouth of Russell East Glacier, Trinity Peninsula. So named by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey following a 1946 survey because a sun azimuth was obtained from a cairn built near the east end of the outcrop.
