The plateau rises south of Schmidt Peninsula and the Chilean scientific station, Base General Bernardo O'Higgins Riquelme. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee (1963) after French cartographer Georges R. Laclavère, President of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research, 1958–63.
