Longhurst Plateau ({{coord|79|23|S|156|20|E|source:GNIS|display=inline,title}}) is a narrow, snow-covered extension of the Antarctic polar plateau located just west of Mount Longhurst. Rising to {{Convert|2,200|m}}, it is about {{Convert|20|nmi|km}} long and {{Convert|10|nmi|km}} wide, and is bounded on the south by the upper part of Darwin Glacier and on the east by McCleary Glacier. The plateau was traversed by the Darwin Glacier Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition in 1957–58, who named it for nearby Mount Longhurst.References }}{{usgs-gazetteer|id=8996}}{{OatesLand-geo-stub}} 1 : Plateaus of Oates Land |
