The Bellingshausen Plain is a large, flat region located in Antarctica, specifically within the western part of the continent, in the vicinity of the Bellingshausen Sea. This geographical feature is part of the larger Thwaites Glacier region and is notable for its unique geological and glaciological characteristics. The plain itself affects ice dynamics and the behavior of glaciers in the area, playing a role in the study of climate change and sea-level rise.
