The Doake Ice Rumples are an area of massive ice cusps in the middle of the Antarctic Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf . They extend over a length of 90 km in a northwest-southeast direction between the Korff Ice Rise and the Henry Ice Rise .
A team led by the US geologist and seismologist Edward C. Thiel crossed this area from Ellsworth Station as part of the International Geophysical Year (1957-1958). Position determinations were made based on Landsataufnahmen from 1974 and radioglaziologischer measurements by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) in 1981. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named the area on 13 November 1985 by Christopher Samuel McClure Doake (1944), senior Glaciologist at BAS in 1973, who made decisive contributions to the morphology and dynamics of the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf.
