) is a rock outcrop 2,100 metres (6,900 ft) high, about 2.5 nautical miles (5 km) long, standing 6.5 nautical miles (12 km) southwest of Mount Bewsher in the Aramis Range of the Prince Charles Mountains, Antarctica. It was first sighted from Mount Bewsher by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions field party in January 1957 and named "Husky Dome" to commemorate the sledge dogs used by the party. The earlier name was amended to Husky Massif by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia in 1970 and is considered more descriptive.^[1]
