Strider Rock was discovered by the 1st Byrd Antarctic Expedition in 1929. Strider Rock was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for John P. Strider, Aviation Machinist's Mate, United States Navy, crew member on the ski-equipped R4D Skytrain in which Rear Admiral George J. Dufek made the first aircraft landing at the geographic South Pole on 31 October 1956.[1]
