Kohl Plateau

The Kohl Plateau is an ice-covered plateau, over 2,500 feet high to the north of the north-west end of the Allardyce Range of South Georgia, standing between the heads of the Keilhau Glacier and the Neumayer Glacier in the central part of the island. It has the largest snowfield in South Georgia, bounded to the north by the semi-circular arc of Wilckens Peaks.

The plateau was discovered and first indicated on a map by Ludwig Kohl-Larsen during his 1929–30 expedition; the plateau was surveyed and named for its discoverer by the South Georgia Survey, 1951–52.
