Thompson Hill

Thompson Hill (хълм Томпсън, ‘Halm Thompson’ \'h&lm 'tomp-s&n\) is the mostly ice-covered ridge rising to 934 m in central Sofia University Mountains, northern Alexander Island in Antarctica. It surmounts Nichols Snowfield to the southeast and Poste Valley to the northeast. The vicinity was visited on 2 February 1988 by the geological survey team of Christo Pimpirev and Borislav Kamenov (First Bulgarian Antarctic Expedition), and Philip Nell and Peter Marquis (British Antarctic Survey).

The feature is named after the settlement of Thompson in Western Bulgaria, in connection with Major Frank Thompson (1920-1944), head of the British military mission to the Bulgarian resistance during World War II.
