The Beehive Hill (English for beehive hill ) is an ice-covered and 2030 m high hill in Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It protrudes 610 m above the ice plateau and is 16 km east of the head end of the Neny Fjord and immediately north of the head end of the Wyatt Glacier .
Scientists of the United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939–1941) carried out a survey of the hill in 1940, which is recorded as the Sphinx on the maps he made . The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey carried out a descriptive renaming after a new survey in 1947.
