Xanadu Hills (78°11′S 163°32′E / 78.183°S 163.533°E / -78.183; 163.533) are a ridge of hills lying between Ward Valley and the Alph River in Victoria Land, a region of Antarctica. They were named by the New Zealand Geographic Board in 1994 in connection with the adjacent Alph River, an earlier name inspired by a poem of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Kubla Khan.[1]
