The mountain was named in 1898 by J. Norman Collie because its snow-capped [[massif]] resembles a dome.<ref name=peakfinder/>

The mountain, reaching a height of {{m to ft|3456|abbr=yes|precision=0}}, is 
possibly a hydrological apex of North America (t, depending on the definition of the boundary between the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, and of which of those hydrographic regions Hudson Bay is considered to be a part. (The other apex is [[Triple Divide Peak]] in [[Glacier National Park (United States)| Glacier National Park]], [[Montana]], [[United States]]). Water falling on its summit may flow into streams that drain into the [[Pacific Ocean]] (via the [[Columbia River]]), the [[Arctic Ocean]] (via the [[Athabasca River]]), and [[Hudson Bay]] (via the [[North Saskatchewan River]]). The ''Dome Glacier'' flows to the north-east, the ''Stutfield Glacier'' to the north-west, the ''Columbia Glacier'' to the west and [[Athabasca Glacier]] flows to the east of the mountain.
