British Antarctic Territory
Adelaide Island
Summit: 1,640 feet 66°49’52"S, 68°1’54"W

Blümcke Knoll is a hill rising to about 1,640 feet above sea level in the north of Adelaide Island in the British Antarctic Territory.

The hill was photographed from the air by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition in 1956-57 and surveyed from the ground by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from "Detaille Island" in 1958.

It is named in association with the names of glaciologists grouped in this area, after Adolf Blümcke (1854-1914), a German glaciologist; Professor in the Oberrealschule, Augsburg.
