The eosin Hill is a 90 m high hill on South Georgia . It rises half a mile southeast of Dartmouth Point on the coast of Cumberland East Bay .
Participants in the Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1901–1903) under the direction of Otto Nordenskjöld undertook the first rough mapping of the hill. Another mapping was done in 1951 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey . The mound is one of a series of geographical objects in the vicinity of Dartmouth Point that are named after dyes for histological studies , in this case the eosins .
