Dudley Head

Dudley Head (84°18′S 172°15′E / 84.3°S 172.25°E / -84.3; 172.25) is a snow-covered, prominent ridge projecting into the east side of Beardmore Glacier, surmounted by several domes rising to 2,540 m, about 5 nautical miles (9 km) south of Mount Patrick. Discovered and named by the British Antarctic Expedition (1907–09), and called "Mount Dudley" by Shackleton. The name was amended by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in keeping with the appearance of the feature.
