From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shepherd Dome () is a low dome-shaped mountain at the north side of Pine Island Glacier, standing 4 miles (6 km) southwest of Mount Manthe in the south part of the Hudson Mountains. Mapped from air photos made by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946-47. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Donald C. Shepherd, ionospheric physicist at Byrd Station, 1967.
