Fuller Dome (86°38′S 156°18′W / 86.633°S 156.300°W / -86.633; -156.300) is a dome-shaped, ice-covered mountain, 2,850 metres (9,350 ft) high, at the northwest end of the Rawson Mountains in the Queen Maud Mountains of Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–64, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for C.E. Fuller, a storekeeper with U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6 on Operation Deep Freeze 1966 and 1967.[1]
