Henry Mesa ({{coord|79|5|S|159|4|E|source:GNIS|display=inline,title}}) is a distinctive wedge-shaped mesa {{convert|2|nmi|km|0}} in extent, standing {{convert|4|nmi|km|0}} south of Mulock Glacier on the west side of Heap Glacier, Antarctica. The ice-covered summit, {{convert|1,430|m|-2}} high, is flat except for a cirque which indents the north side. The mesa was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from tellurometer surveys and Navy air photos, 1959–63, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Captain B.R. Henry, U.S. Coast Guard, commander of the {{USCGC|Eastwind|WAGB-279}} during U.S. Navy Operation Deep Freeze 1964, and commander of the U.S. ship group during Deep Freeze 1965.References }}{{usgs-gazetteer|id=6665}}{{OatesLand-geo-stub}} 2 : Mesas of Antarctica|Landforms of Oates Land |
