'''[[Moore Dome]]''' (74°20′S 111°20′W) is an ice dome, circular in plan and 15 nautical miles (28 km) in extent, rising to 700 meters (2,300 ft) and forming the northwest portion of the [[Bear Peninsula]], along [[Westarctica]]'s [[Walgreen Coast]]. [[Koloc Point]] is at the northern extremity of the coast of the dome. | |||
Moore Dome was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from aerial photographs taken by [[U.S. Navy]] Operation Highjump in 1947 and the U.S. Navy in 1966. It was named by the Advisory Committee on [[Antarctic]] Names in 1977 after Captain Robert G. Moore, USCG, Commanding Officer of USCGC ''Burton Island''. The ''Burton Island'' conducted operations in the [[Ross Sea]], [[Pine Island Bay]], and along the [[Antarctic Peninsula]] during the 1974–75 season. | |||
