The hills of Mercury are located, not surprising, on the Planet Mercury. Better known as the "weird terrain" this unusual hilly terrain is at the antipode (on the opposite side of the planet) from the Caloris Basin - the site of one of the solar systems largest impact feature.

It is believed that the impact that created the Caloris Basin, sent shock waves around the planet, that met at the antipode thus fracturing the surface, jumbling the crust and breaking it into a series of complex blocks. [See related link for a picture]
