Anderson Dome

Anderson Dome is a prominent ice-covered dome mountain rising to 1,475 metres (4,840 ft) on the east side of Gopher Glacier, 4 nautical miles (7 km) east of the similar-appearing Bonnabeau Dome, in the Jones Mountains in Antarctica. It was mapped by the University of Minnesota Jones Mountains Party, 1960–61, and named by them for Joe M. Anderson, a United States Geological Survey topographic engineer with the party.[1]
