The Last Hill (English for last hill ) is a 350 m high hill on the Trinity Peninsula in the north of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It rises 6 km south-southwest of Hope Bay and 3 km east of the northeast shore of Duse Bay on the Tabarin Peninsula . Special features of this hill are its striking summit crown and a cliff on the north flank.
He was probably discovered by participants in the Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1901–1903) led by Otto Nordenskjöld . Scientists from the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey made an initial mapping and naming in 1946. It is named after the fact that this hill marks the last ascent on the route between Hope Bay and Duse Bay.
