Touchdown Hills
Touchdown Hills (Lua error in Module:Coordinates at line 489: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value).) is a group of snow-covered hills extending south from Vahsel Bay on the east side of the Filchner Ice Shelf. So named by the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition in 1957 because one of the expedition members, while piloting a plane fitted with skis, mistook these hills for clouds and hit them, bounding upwards undamaged.
