Hadley Upland () is a triangular shaped remnant plateau with an undulating surface, 1500 to, in southern Graham Land, Antarctica. It is bounded by Windy Valley and Martin Glacier, Gibbs Glacier and Lammers Glacier.

Location

Fallières Coast on Antarctic Peninsula.

Hadley Upland is to the east of Marguerite Bay in Graham Land on the Fallières Coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. Godfrey Upland is to the south, Traffic Circle, Mercator Ice Piedmont and Mobiloil Inlet are to the east, Solberg Inlet and Joerg Peninsula are to the north east and Walton Peak is to the north. Gibbs Glacier flows along the northeast side of the upland. Windy Valley and Lammers Glacier define the south side. Bertrand Ice Piedmont, Rymill Bay and Neny Fjord are on the northwest side.

Snowshoe Glacier and Remus Glacier flow into Neny Fjord. Romulus Glacier and Martin Glacier flow into Rymill Bay. Other features and nearby features, from north to south, include the Blackwall Mountains, Neny Matterhorn, Black Thumb, Mount Lupa, Mount Medina, Mount Cortes and Mount Ptolemy.

Exploration and name

The existence of this upland was known to the United States Antarctic Service (USAS), 1939–41, Finn Ronne and Carl R. Eklund having travelled along Lammer Glacier and Gibbs Glacier in January 1941. The upland was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1948–50 and 1958. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-ADC) after John Hadley, an English mathematician who, at the same time as Thomas Godfrey, independently invented the quadrant (the forerunner of the sextant), in 1730–31.
