Theodolite Hill

Theodolite Hill (63°29′S 57°35′W) is a hill, 680 m, with a small rock outcrop at its summit, standing at the southeast corner of Laclavère Plateau 5 nautical miles (9 km) west of the northwest end of Duse Bay, in the northeast part of Trinity Peninsula. Discovered by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), 1946, and so named during their survey of the area because it served as an important theodolite station.
