The Karo Hills (85°34′S 154°10′W / 85.567°S 154.167°W / -85.567; -154.167) are rounded, ice-free foothills in Antarctica extending for 12 nautical miles (14 mi; 22 km) along the west side of the terminus of Scott Glacier, from Mount Salisbury north-northwest to the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf. They were first seen and roughly mapped by the Byrd Antarctic Expedition between 1928 and 1930, and were named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Vice Admiral H. Arnold Karo, Director of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey from 1955 to 1965 and Deputy Director of the U.S. Environmental Science Services Administration from 1965 to 1967.^[1]
