Mineral Hill (63°29′S 57°3′W) is a round-topped hill, 445 metres (1,460 ft) high, with ice-free, talus-covered slopes, standing 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) west of Trepassey Bay on Tabarin Peninsula, Antarctica. It was probably first seen by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition under Otto Nordenskiöld, 1901–04. The hill was first charted by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1946, who so named it because small quantities of reddish mineral in the rock gave the surfaces a conspicuous color.[1]
