Cenotaph Hill (

85°13′S 167°12′W / 85.217°S 167.200°W / -85.217; -167.200Coordinates: 85°13′S 167°12′W / 85.217°S 167.200°W / -85.217; -167.200) is a rock peak, 2,070 metres (6,800 ft) high, on the ridge separating the heads of Strom Glacier and Liv Glacier in the Queen Maud Mountains. The peak is 8 nautical miles (15 km) north-northeast of the summit of Mount Fridtjof Nansen. It was visited by the Southern Party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1963–64) who gave this name because the unusual knob of rock forming the summit resembles a monument.^[1]
