The Anderson Hills are an irregular group of hills , ridges and peaks in Queen Elizabeth Land, West Antarctica . They loom between the Mackin Table and the Thomas Hills in the Patuxent Range of the Pensacola Mountains .
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them at the suggestion of the polar explorer Finn Ronne after Robert B. Anderson (1910-1989), who as Deputy Secretary of Defense from 1954 to 1955 was jointly responsible for the activities of the United States in Antarctica .
