What is the name plateau located in Antarctica?
Using this description of 'plains': "An extensive, level, usually treeless area of land," one could consider vast expanses of Antarctica as 'plains'. However, since the continent is covered -- 98% -- by ice, and since it's too cold there for life to survive, there is no food chain there, so no trees can grow: Antarctica is often described as having 'long horizons', based on the flatness of the ice that covers the continent. This is especially true at the South Pole.
What landforms are in Antarctica?
