The Bynon Hill ( spanish Monte Bynon , also known as Goddard Hill ) is a 332 m high, the icy and dome-shaped hill with two rounded peaks on Deception Iceland in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It rises 2.5 km north of Pendulum Cove .
His Spanish name first appears on an Argentine map from 1956. Presumably namesake is a participant in an Argentine Antarctic expedition that lasted from 1952 to 1953. In the United Kingdom , the hill has been named after midshipman William Henry Goddard († 1849), author of the earliest maps of the South Shetland Islands, since 1957 .
