Mirador Hill

Mirador Hill (Spanish: Cerro Mirador, 'Balcony Hill') is the rocky hill rising to 307 m on Hurd Peninsula, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica and surmounting Johnsons Glacier to the north-northwest and False Bay to the southeast.

The feature was mapped and descriptively named in 1991 by the Spanish Antarctic Expedition from its excellent view towards False Bay.

Location

The peak is located at 62°40′53.4″S 60°20′23″W which is 1.35 km south-southwest of Napier Peak, 880 m north by east of Moores Peak and 4.49 km west-northwest of Kikish Crag (Spanish mapping in 1991, and Bulgarian in 1996, 2005 and 2009).

gollark: Yes, make osmarkssearchengine™ but palaiologos.
gollark: The Macron compiler was able to optimise a collatz conjecture loop to just return immediately but nobody can make it tell why.
gollark: Implement osmarkslisp-rs.
gollark: Not significantly. It's just slightly less efficient than letting it autoassign rowids.
gollark: As Macron is purely functional and deterministic, when an error occurs it simply rewrites the code and time-travel-debuggings it back to the same state, until it stops erroring.
