The Bonnabeau Dome is a distinctive, domed and ice-covered mountain near the Eights coast of the West Antarctic Ellsworthland . It rises on the western flank of the Gopher Glacier at a distance of 6 km west of the similar looking Anderson Dome in the Jones Mountains .
Participants in a University of Minnesota expedition to the Jones Mountains (1960–1961) mapped it and named the mountain after Raymond C. Bonnabeau Jr. (1933–2011), a doctor on the expedition.
