The Fazeka Hills are a group of rugged and ice-free hills in Antarctica's Ross Dependency . They rise up with north-south orientation over a length of 14.5 km immediately east of Mount Oona on the eastern flank of the Lowery Glacier in the Queen Elizabeth Range of the Transantarctic Mountains . To the south lies Bengaard Peak .
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1966 after Stephen P. Fazekas Sr. (1930-1994), a meteorologist for the United States Antarctic Research Program at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in 1958.
