The Schneider Hills are a group of hills in Queen Elizabeth Land, West Antarctica . They rise south of the San Martín Glacier and form the southern half of the Argentina Range in the Pensacola Mountains .
The United States Geological Survey mapped them on the basis of their own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1956 to 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1968 after the Argentine geophysicist Otto Schneider, senior scientist at the Instituto Antártico Argentino at that time.
Russian scientists verorteten under coordinates that have the southern end of Schneider Hills, a group of Nunatakkern and named it as Yakov-Koblenz-Nunatakker ( Russian Нунатаки Якова Кобленца Nunataki Jakowa Koblenza ; English transcription Nunataki Jakova Koblenca ).
