California Plateau (86°4′S 145°10′W / 86.067°S 145.167°W) is an undulating ice-covered plateau, 30 nautical miles (56 km) long and from 2 to 12 nautical miles (4 to 22 km) wide, which rises to 3,000 metres (10,000 ft) at the eastern side of Scott Glacier. The plateau reaches a maximum height of 3,275 metres (10,745 ft) in Mount Blackburn at the southern end. The northwestern side of the plateau is marked by the steep rock cliffs of Watson Escarpment; the southeastern side grades gradually to the elevation of the interior ice. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from ground surveys and from U.S. Navy aerial photography, 1960–64, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for the several branches of the University of California which have sent numerous research

Die Nordwestseite ist gekennzeichnet durch die steilen Kliffs des Watson Escarpment, die Südostseite hingegen fällt sanft auf das Niveau des zentralen Polarplateaus ab. Das Gebiet wurde durch Vermessungsarbeiten des United States Geological Survey und mithilfe von Luftaufnahmen der United States Navy von 1960 bis 1964 kartografisch erfasst. Das Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names benannte es 1967 zu Ehren der University of California, von der zahlreiche in Antarktika tätige Wissenschaftler unterschiedlicher Forschungsdisziplinen stammten.

La denominazione è stata assegnata dall'Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) in onore dei molti dipartimenti dell'Università della California che hanno inviato numerosi studiosi a compiere ricerche in Antartide.
