The Obruchev Hills (66°35′S 99°46′E / 66.583°S 99.767°E / -66.583; 99.767) are a group of rounded hills on the coast between Denman Glacier and Scott Glacier. The hills were plotted by the Western Base Party of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (1911–14) as a great rock face. They were plotted in greater detail from aerial photographs taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump (1946–47) and later by a Soviet expedition (1956), which named them after Vladimir Obruchev, Soviet geologist (1863–1956).
