The illusion Hills (English for imagination hills ) are a small and reminiscent of a road range of hills in the East Antarctic Victoria Land . At the head of the Rennick Glacier, they loom between the Lichen Hills and the Vantage Hills .
The northern group of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1962–1963) mapped and named them. The fact that the hills are further away than assumed by the northern group gave it its name.
