Virgin Hill

Virgin Hill (63°56′S 58°9′W / 63.933°S 58.150°W / -63.933; -58.150) is a hill rising to 665 m west of Carro Pass, James Ross Island. The name derives from "Cerro Virgen de las Nieves" (Virgin of the Snows hill) applied by Argentine Antarctic Expeditions, 1978. A more concise English form of the name has been approved.
