'''Siple Dome''' (81°39′15″S 149°00′18″W) is an [[ice]] dome approximately 100 km wide and 100 km long, located 130 km east of [[Siple Coast]] in [[Westarctica]]. Charles Bentley and Robert Thomas established a "strain rosette" on this feature to determine ice movement in 1973-74. They referred to the feature as Siple Dome because of its proximity to Siple Coast. | '''Siple Dome''' (81°39′15″S 149°00′18″W) is an [[ice]] dome approximately 100 km wide and 100 km long, located 130 km east of [[Siple Coast]] in [[Westarctica]].
