The Detroit Plateau (64°10′S 60°0′W / 64.167°S 60.000°W / -64.167; -60.000 (Detroit Plateau)) is a major interior plateau of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula, with heights between 1,500 and 1,800 metres (4,900 and 5,900 ft). Its northeast limit is marked by the south wall of Russell West Glacier, from which it extends some 90 nautical miles (170 km; 100 mi) in a general southwest direction to Herbert Plateau.[1]
