The Dyer Plateau is a broad, ice-covered upland of north-central Palmer Land, bounded to the north by Fleming Glacier and Bingham Glacier, and to the south by the Gutenko Mountains.
The plateau was first explored on land and photographed from the air by the US Antarctic Service, 1939–41. It was named after J. Glenn Dyer, a surveyor with the then General Land Office of the Department of the Interior. He was leader of the USAS surface party which sledged from Fleming Glacier southeast across the plateau to the Welch Mountains, and an observer with the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions during the 1956–57 season.
