The Monteath Hills (72°6′S 166°30′E / 72.100°S 166.500°E / -72.100; 166.500) are a group of mountains in the Victory Mountains of Victoria Land, Antarctica, bounded by Jutland Glacier, Midway Glacier, Pearl Harbor Glacier, and Plata Glacier. The group includes Mount Crowder, Mount Tararua (2,550 metres (8,370 ft) high), and Mount Holdsworth. The hills were named by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1983, after Colin Monteath, a field operations officer with the Antarctic Division of the New Zealand Department of Scientific and Industrial Research.[1]
