Short description: Plateau in Antarctica
Markham Plateau ( [ ⚑ ] : 82°56′S 161°10′E / 82.933°S 161.167°E) is a small, but prominent, high plateau in Antarctica. It extends south from Mount Markham for about 10 nautical miles (19 km) and forms the divide between east and west-flowing glaciers in the northern part of the Queen Elizabeth Range. The plateau was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from tellurometer surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–62, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in association with Mount Markham.[1]
