The Jantar Hills are a group of hills on the Danco coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . They consist mainly of lava rocks of the Lower Cretaceous and project south of Leith Cove between the porphyry glacier and the Pluton Glacier on.
Polish scientists named it in 1999 after the Polish research vessel Jantar , which operated between 1987 and 1988 in the waters around the South Shetland Islands and west of the Antarctic Peninsula.
