The Morgan Upland is a snow-covered, structureless plateau in south-central Grahamland on the Antarctic Peninsula . It is bounded by the Cole and Clarke Glaciers in the north, the Weyerhaeuser Glacier in the east, the Airy Glacier in the south, and the Hariot Glacier in the southwest.
The British Antarctic Survey took the first aerial photographs of this area in September 1962. These were used by the British geodesist Ivor Protheroe Morgan (* 1937), after whom it is named, for mapping.
