The Jersak Hills ( English , Polish Wzgórza Jersaka ) are a group of up to 200 m high hills of basalt on King George Iceland in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . They tower southwest of Arctowski Station on the banks of Admiralty Bay .
Polish scientists named it in 1980 after the geomorphologist Józef Jersak (1929–1991), who worked as a station manager in 1977 during the first wintering at the Arctowski station.
