Last Hill (63°28′S 57°5′W / 63.467°S 57.083°W / -63.467; -57.083) is a small hill, 350 metres (1,150 ft) high, with a rock ridge at its crest and a cliff at its north side, standing 4 nautical miles (7 km) south-southwest of Hope Bay and 2 nautical miles (4 km) east of the northeast shore of Duse Bay on Tabarin Peninsula, Antarctica. It was probably seen by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Otto Nordenskjöld, but was first charted in 1946 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, who so named it because it marks the last climb on the sledge route between Hope Bay and Duse Bay.[1]
