The Fontaine Heights are a series of hills on the Graham Coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . They extend from Mount Dewey to Cape García on the south side of Bigo Bay .
Aerial photographs and measurements by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey between 1955 and 1957 were used to map them. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1959 after the Belgian Nobel Peace Prize winner Henri La Fontaine (1854-1943).
