On the Trinity Peninsula, it rises 5.51 km east to north of Konush Hill and about 18 km south-southeast of Cape Ducorps in the northern foothills of the Louis Philippe Plateau .
Chilean scientists named it after José N. Guerrero Villarroel, who in 1916 belonged to the crew of the Yelcho to rescue the members of the endurance expedition (1914-1917) of the British polar explorer Ernest Shackleton who were stranded on Elephant Island . The Argentine name was given in 1976.
