The Challenger Plateau is a submerged plateau located in the southern part of the Indian Ocean. It is situated to the southeast of the Kerguelen Islands and is part of the larger Kerguelen Plateau. The plateau is characterized by its relatively shallow waters and is known for its unique geological features. This underwater landform is significant for marine research, as it provides a habitat for various species of marine life. The Challenger Plateau is also of interest to scientists studying the geological history of the region and the processes that shape oceanic environments.
