Midnight Plateau (79°53′S 156°15′E / 79.883°S 156.25°E) is a prominent ice-covered plateau, over 2,200 m, forming the central feature of the Darwin Mountains. It is the only area of snow accumulation in the Darwin Mountains. Discovered by the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition (VUWAE) (1962–63) and so named because the feature was visited by expedition members at midnight on December 27, 1962.
