The Colbert Hills are a series of hills including Coalsack Bluff in Antarctica's Ross Dependency . They rise east of the Lewis Cliff between the Law Glacier and the Walcott Firnfield and extend from Mount Sirius over a length of 26 km in a south-westerly direction.
The hill group is named after the American paleontologist Edwin Harris Colbert (1905-2001), who was involved in the discovery of a Lystrosaurus fossil as head of the Ohio State University research trip between 1969 and 1970 .
