Roberts Butte
Roberts Butte (72°39′S 160°8′E / 72.650°S 160.133°E) is a striking, flat-topped butte (2,830 m) that is very prominent in Antarctica, and can be seen from great distances standing 2 miles (3.2 km) northwest of Miller Butte in the Outback Nunataks. It was discovered by the U.S. Victoria Land Traverse Party, 1959-60. Louis J. Roberts, United States Geological Survey (USGS) surveyor with this party, proposed the name "Flattop Mountain," but to avoid duplication the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) named it for Roberts who was first to survey the feature.
