The slopes of Rotch Dome west of 60º53'45"W were included in 2016 into the Antarctic Specially Protected AreaByers Peninsula (ASPA 126), with a designated zone comprising the northwestern part of Rotch Dome and the adjacent deglaciated ground on Ivanov Beach placed under greater restriction on access in order to prevent microbial or other contamination by human activity.[1]

Rotch Dome is part of the mise-en-scène in the 2016 Antarctica thriller novelThe Killing Ship by Simon Beaufort, with action spreading westwards from Hannah Point, skirting the dome and eventually reaching Byers Peninsula; the feature is shown on a sketch map of Livingston Island illustrating the book.[2][3]
