Taylor Dome is an elliptical ice dome, 43 nautical miles long ESE-WNW and 16 nautical miles wide, rising to 2,400 m, centered about 29 nautical miles west-northwest of Mount Crean, Lashly Mountains, Victoria Land. The feature was delineated by the Scott Polar Research Institute -National Science Foundation -Technical University of Denmark airborne radio echo sounding program, 1967–79. The name was first used by David J. Drewry of SPRI in 1980. The dome is one of the local sources of ice to the Taylor Glacier, from which it is named.
