An ice-covered headland 4.4 mi NE of Tyree Head in S Ross Island. The headland rises to 620 m the E side of the terminus of Aurora Glacier. Named by US-ACAN (2000) in association with Tyree Head, q.v., after R Adm. George J. Dufek, USN (1903-77), Commander, U.S. Naval Support Force, Antarctica, 1954-59.
