Berry Hill is a hill rising to 1,214 feet above sea level to the south-west of Cape Lachman on James Ross Island, off the east coast of Graham Land.
The hill is notable for an exposure of volcanic rocks and probable glacial beds of Pliocene age.
Devoid as it is of all vegetation, Berry Hill is named not from its produce but after Alfred Thomas Berry, who served as Chief Steward in the RSS Discovery II from 1929-39; and who was in charge of stores on Operation "Tabarin", based at Port Lockroy 1943-44, and at Hope Bay 1944-45.
