The Jeanne Hill ( French Colline Jeanne ) is a 195 m high hill on Booth Island in the Wilhelm Archipelago west of the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises 400 m northwest of Mount Guéguen on the banks of Port Charcot .
Participants in the Fourth French Antarctic Expedition (1903-1905) were the first to map it. The expedition leader and polar explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot named him after his sister Marie Amélie Jeanne Claudine Charcot (1865–1940). The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee transferred the French name to English in 1955.
