Brown Buttress (81°41′S 160°30′E) is a wedge-shaped buttress rising to approximately 800 metres (2,600 ft), located near the head of Dickey Glacier, which flows into Beaumont Bay. It was named in honor of R F Brown, a member of the 1960 Cape Hallett winter-over team, working as a technician on the geomagnetic project.
