The Ronald Rock is a striking 1145 m high rock in the West Antarctic Queen Elizabeth Land . In the Forrestal Range of the Pensacola Mountains , it looms east of the Saratoga Table along the cliff immediately north of the Skidmore Cliff .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1956 to 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1968 after Ronald D. Brown, an aircraft body mechanic at Ellsworth Station in the Antarctic winter of 1957.
