The Statler Hills are a group of low and rocky hills on the Ingrid Christensen Coast of Princess Elisabeth Land . They rise immediately north of the Rogers Glacier on the eastern edge of the Amery Ice Shelf .
The American cartographer John Hobbie Roscoe (1919-2007) mapped them using aerial photographs of Operation Highjump (1946-1947). Roscoe named it after Loy R. Statler (1920-1995), a crew member on the flights of Operation Highjump in the coastal area between the 14th and the 164th east longitude .
