Siple Dome (Coordinates: 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 Antarctica. 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.
