'''[[Siple Dome]]''' 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. | |||
A documentary on climate change research associated with the Siple Dome ice core was produced by Nova: Warnings from the Ice, 1998. The documentary explains how reductions in Antarctic ice mass can raise sea level. | |||
Siple Dome is referenced in the song "Fall of Sipledome" by thrash metal band Testament (on their 1999 album ''The Gathering''). | |||
