The Forgotten Hills ( English for Forgotten Hills ) are a small group of hills in the north of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . They rise up on the west side of the area where the Astronaut Glacier was formed and around 10 km southeast of the Intention Nunatakker .
Their name, which the southern group of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1966-1967) gave them, they owe to the fact that none of the three groups of the expedition found time to devote themselves to exploring the hills.
