Lookout Dome

Lookout Dome (83°3′S 156°27′E) is an ice-covered, dome-shaped mountain, 2,470 metres (8,100 ft) high, in the Miller Range, Antarctica. It was so named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1961–62) because its heights offer an extensive view of Nimrod Glacier and were used as a survey station.[1]
