The Otterflya is an icy plateau in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . It lies between the Sigurdsvodene on the north side and the Mühlig-Hofmann Mountains and the Drygalskibergen in the south.
Norwegian cartographers, who also made the designation, mapped it using surveys and aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960). It is named after a de Havilland Canada DHC-3 Otter aircraft , which was used on this research trip.
