The Lookout Dome (English for observation dome) is an icy, dome-shaped and 2,471 m high mountain in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . It rises northwest of Aurora Heights and east of the head end of the Skua Glacier in the Miller Range of the Transantarctic Mountains .
Scientists from a 1961 to 1962 campaign of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1955-1958) named it so because its summit offers an excellent view of the neighboring Nimrod Glacier .
