The Snow Hills ( English for snow hills ) are two snow-covered hills in the east-central part of Signy Island in the archipelago of the South Orkney Islands . They tower 400 m west of Cemetery Bay with heights of 240 m and 265 m respectively .
Scientists from the UK Discovery Investigations named the eastern, lower of the two hills as Snow Hill . On site, however, the given name for both hills is established.
