dbo:abstract
  • Die Simpson Hills sind eine Gruppe bis zu 1700 m hoher Gebirgskämme und Nunatakker unweit der Black-Küste des Palmerlands auf der Antarktischen Halbinsel. Sie ragen 10 km nordwestlich des Owen Peak am Kopfende des Gruening-Gletschers auf. Der United States Geological Survey kartierte sie anhand von Luftaufnahmen der United States Navy aus den Jahren von 1966 bis 1969 und nahm gemeinsam mit dem British Antarctic Survey (BAS) zwischen 1986 und 1987 Vermessungen vor. Das UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee benannte sie 1991 nach Anthony Russell Simpson (* 1961) vom BAS, der an diesen Vermessungen beteiligt war. (de)

Simpson Hill overlooks the “cross” in the St. Croix River, the place that gave rise to the name given to the river by Champlain in the early 1600s. Reaching almost 600 feet, it is the most readily accessible lookout on the Canadian side of the St. Croix. From Table Top, the view looks directly across to the Ganong Nature Park at Todd's Point. To the right is Oak Bay and the Waweig River. On the left, the St. Croix River flows down from St. Stephen/Calais. To the extreme left is the lower estuary leading offshore to Passamaquoddy Bay and the Bay of Fundy. This article incorporates public domain material from "Simpson Hills".

Simpson Hill lies within the Chamcook Lake Watershed, an environmentally protected area, which supplies drinking water to St. Andrews, various research facilities and the Champlain Industrial Park.
