The Long Hills () are a group of hills and rock outcroppings about 6 nmi in extent, located midway between the Wisconsin Range and the Ohio Range in the Horlick Mountains of Antarctica.

Discovery and naming

The Long Hills were mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and United States Navy aerial photographs, 1958–60. They were named by the United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for William E. Long, a geologist with the Horlick Mountains Traverse, 1958–59, and also a member of the Ohio State University expedition to the Horlick Mountains in 1960–61 and 1961–62.

Location

The Long Hills are in the Horlick Mountains to the east of the Wisconsin Range. Features include McCarthy Valley, Knack Point, Todd Ridge, Peters Butte and Victor Cliff. The Spencer Nunatak, Widich Nunatak and Noble Nunatak are to the west of the hills. The Shimizu Ice Stream drains west-northwest from the area between Wisconsin Range and Long Hills to enter the south flank of Horlick Ice Stream.
