Langhovde Hills
The Langhovde Hills are an extensive area of bare rocky hills along the eastern shore of Lützow-Holm Bay, in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. They are located just south of Hovde Bay. They were mapped by Norwegian cartographers from aerial photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (LCE) in 1936–37, and named descriptively "Langhovde" ("long knoll"). Many other features were mapped from surveys and air photos by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE) of 1957–62, and subsequently named by
shore of the Langhovde Hills. Hovde Bay ("knoll bay") and Langhovde-kita Point mark the north end of the Hills. The point was first surveyed by JARE personnel, and named "Langhovde-kita-misaki" ("Langhovde north point") because of its location. Langhovde Glacier flows north from the Hills into Hovde Bay.
