Midnight Plateau

Midnight Plateau (79°53′S 156°15′E) is a prominent ice-covered plateau, over 2,200 metres (7,200 ft) high, forming the central feature of the Darwin Mountains in Antarctica. It is the only area of snow accumulation in the Darwin Mountains. The plateau was discovered by the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition of 1962–63 and so named because the feature was visited by expedition members at midnight on December 27, 1962.
