The Madrid Dome (English, Bulgarian купол Мадрид Kupol Madrid ) is a 1,650 m high ice dome at the Oskar-II. coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . On the southwestern foothills of the Aristotle Mountains it rises 12.7 km east of the Roundel Dome , 15.8 km southeast of the Bersin Ridge , 58.4 km west to south of Cape Disappointment , 25 km northwest of Bildad Peak and 34.2 km north-northeast of the Moider Peak . The Crane Glacier is northwest and the Flask Glacier is south of it.
British scientists mapped it in 1976. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2012 after the Spanish capital Madrid in connection with the so-called “Madrid Protocol” on environmental protection in the Antarctic Treaty .
