Damschroder Rock (85°38′S 69°14′W / 85.633°S 69.233°W / -85.633; -69.233) is a conspicuous rock outlier, 1,595 metres (5,230 ft) high, at the end of a snow-covered spur extending westward for 2.5 nautical miles (5 km) from the central Pecora Escarpment in the Pensacola Mountains. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos, 1956–66, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Gerald H. Damschroder, a construction mechanic at Plateau Station, winter 1966.[1]
