Hollick-Kenyon Plateau

Hollick-Kenyon Plateau (coord|78|0|S|105|0|W|) is a large, relatively featureless snow plateau, 1,200 m to 1,800 m above sea level, located between the northern portion of the Ellsworth Mountains, to the east, and Mount Takahe and Crary Mountains, to the west. It was discovered by Lincoln Ellsworth on his trans-Antarctic airplane flight during November-December 1935, and named by Ellsworth for his pilot, Herbert Hollick-Kenyon.
