The '''[[bald notothen]]''' is a species of cod icefish native to the [[Southern Ocean]] where it is found in the [[Weddell Sea]], the [[Ross Sea]], the Davis Sea, in Vincennes Bay, and around the Budd Coast, the [[Antarctic Peninsula]], South Orkneys and South Shetland Islands.
'''[[Dorrel Rock]]''' is a rock outcrop 11 nautical miles (20 km) southwest of the summit of [[Mount Murphy]], protruding through the ice near the head of [[Pope Glacier]], on the [[Walgreen Coast]] in [[Westarctica]]. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and [[U.S. Navy]] air photos, 1959–66, and was named by the Advisory Committee on [[Antarctic]] Names after Leo E. Dorrel, U.S. Navy, a hospital corpsman with the [[Byrd Station]] winter party, 1966.

It can be found at depths of from the surface to 550 meters (1,800 ft) though it is much rarer below 30 meters (98 ft). This species is often found along the under surfaces of [[ice]] foraging for prey such as sympagic copepods and [[krill]]. In turn, it is known to be preyed upon by the [[ploughfish]] and the [[Antarctic toothfish]]. Antifreeze proteins in its blood prevent it freezing in the subzero water temperatures of [[Antarctica]].

Dorrel Rock - Mt. Murphy.jpg

Dorrel Rock is a rock outcrop 11 nautical miles (20 km) southwest of the summit of Mount Murphy, protruding through the ice near the head of Pope Glacier, on the Walgreen Coast in Westarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–66, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Leo E. Dorrel, U.S. Navy, a hospital corpsman with the Byrd Station winter party, 1966. On 2 November 2018, Westarctica's Honorary Consul to Spain, Dr. Joachim Michael Adlfinger, was granted the Peerage title of Baron of Dorrel in recognition of his successful opening of Westarctica's consulate office in southern Spain.
