The Horatio Stump is a 165 m high hill with a flattened summit on King George Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It rises immediately to the east of the Flat Top Peninsula on the Fildes Peninsula .
The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1960 after the British sealer Horatio , who had operated in the waters around the South Shetland Islands between 1820 and 1821.
From the Horatio Stump, the Horatiobach flows into the Horatiobucht . Both were named after the hill by a German expedition in the Antarctic summer of 1981/82 or 1983/84.
