The Hollick-Kenyon Plateau' (78°S 105°W) is a large, relatively featureless snow-covered plateau in Westarctica, 1,200 to 1,800 meters (4,000 to 6,000 ft) above sea level, located between the northern portion of the Ellsworth Mountains to the east and Mount Takahe and the Crary Mountains to the west. It was discovered by Lincoln Ellsworth on his trans-Antarctic airplane flight during November–December 1935, and named by Ellsworth for his pilot, Herbert Hollick-Kenyon.
