The Edson Hills are a group of largely ice-free hills in the West Antarctic Heritage Range. The ridge are extended in a north-south direction and is separated on the north by the Drake Icefall by the Søholt peaks. In the west, the Union Glacier extends.

Elvers Peak in the south of Edson Hills reaches a height of 1615 m and extends about 200 meters so about eternal ice that covered the surrounding countryside. In the middle of the group of hills lies Lester Peak, north of it flows the Hyde Glacier east to Union Glacier.

Your name received the Edson Hills by an expedition from the University of Minnesota the years 1962/63 to Ellsworthgebirge, which they named after Dean T. Edson, an engineer and geographer of the expedition.
