The Hedgpeth Heights (71°7′S 167°30′E / 71.117°S 167.500°E / -71.117; 167.500) are mainly snow-covered heights, 14 nautical miles (26 km) long and with peaks rising to 1,300 metres (4,300 ft), located 2 nautical miles (4 km) southwest of the Quam Heights in the Anare Mountains of Victoria Land, Antarctica. The feature was first mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–63, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Joel W. Hedgpeth, a United States Antarctic Research Program biologist at McMurdo Station, 1967–68, and Palmer Station, 1968–69. These topographical features lie situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.[1]
