When discovered and named?[edit]

In the Exploration section, we read "Details of the morphology of this feature were determined ... between the years 1967 and 1979." This implies people knew about the dome before then, but had not yet detailed the morphology. An earlier passage says the dome was named by the Scott Polar Research Institute, which has been active since 1920, but the date of naming and how long it went unnamed for are not mentioned. Neither could I find the information in a search of online resources. Could an expert on the topic please add one or two clarifying sentences to the article?

"the coldest naturally occurring place on Earth"[edit]

This phrasing is a bit odd: a place doesn't really "occur". I understand what it's trying to say: there may be colder synthetic places, like special laboratory environments. How can we phrase it better? Equinox ◑ 19:43, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
