The Daley Hills are a group of tall and icy hills in East Antarctic Victoria Land . They lie along the western flank of the Aviator Glacier between the confluences of the Cosmonette and Shoemaker Glaciers .
The United States Geological Survey mapped them using their own surveys and using aerial photographs of the United States Navy between 1960 and 1964. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1969 after Robert C. Daley of the US Navy, flight engineer of a Lockheed C-130 Hercules in the Deep Freeze operations of 1966, 1967 and 1968.
