Malta Plateau

Malta Plateau (72°58′S 167°18′E / 72.967°S 167.3°E / -72.967; 167.3) is an ice-covered plateau of about 25 nautical miles (46 km) extent in the Victory Mountains, Victoria Land. The plateau is irregular in shape and is bounded on the south and west by Mariner Glacier, on the north by tributaries to Trafalgar Glacier, and on the east by tributaries to Borchgrevink Glacier. Named by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee (NZ-APC) to commemorate the island of Malta in association with the Victory Mountains.
