Enterprise Hills
The Enterprise Hills are a prominent group of largely ice-free hills and peaks in the form of an arc. The feature extends for about to form the north and northeast boundary of Horseshoe Valley in the Heritage Range of the Ellsworth Mountains. These hills were mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1961–66; the name was applied by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in association with the name Heritage Range.
