Disch Promontory (83°34′S 162°52′E / 83.567°S 162.867°E / -83.567; 162.867) is a high, ice-covered promontory, 6 nautical miles (11 km) long, extending from the east side of Prince Andrew Plateau, Queen Elizabeth Range. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Carl R. Disch, a United States Antarctic Research Program ionospheric physicist, who was lost at Byrd Station, May 8, 1965.[1]
