The Doumer Hill is a 515 m (as specified by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee 510 m ) high and snowy hill on Doumer Island in the Palmer Archipelago off the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula .
Participants in the Fourth French Antarctic Expedition , led by polar explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot, mapped it. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1958 based on the naming of the island of the same name, which is named after the French politician Paul Doumer (1857-1932).
