The Hollick Kenyon Plateau is a large and almost structureless plateau between 1200 and 1800 m high in the West Antarctic Ellsworthland . It lies between the northern section of the Ellsworth Mountains in the east and Mount Takahe and the Crary Mountains in the west.
The American polar explorer Lincoln Ellsworth discovered them during his Transantarctic flight on November 23, 1936. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1947 after Ellsworth's pilot Herbert Hollick-Kenyon (1897–1975).
