The Challenger Plateau is an underwater feature located in the South Pacific Ocean, specifically in the southwestern part of the Pacific Ocean, near the New Zealand region. It is a submerged continental fragment or plateau, named after the HMS Challenger, which conducted significant oceanographic research in the 19th century. This plateau is characterized by its relatively shallow depth compared to the surrounding oceanic areas, and it serves as an important geological and ecological area.
