The Jaeger Table () is the ice-covered summit plateau of Dufek Massif, in the Pensacola Mountains of Antarctica, rising to 2,030 m at Worcester Summit.

Mapping and name

The plateau was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in 1968 from ground surveys and United States Navy aerial photographs taken 1964. It was named by the United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN), at the suggestion of USGS geologist Arthur B. Ford, after Commander James W. Jaeger, United States Navy, pilot of the Squadron VXE-6 Lockheed C-130 Hercules aircraft that landed the USGS field party in the area in the 1976–77 season.

Location

The Jaeger Table is east of Neuburg Peak in the Dufek Massif and west of Davis Valley. The Ford Ice Piedmont is to the north and the Sallee Snowfield is to the south. Features immediately surrounding the plateau include Spear Spur, Kelley Spur, Worcester Summit, Lewis Spur and Carlson Buttress. Features along the escarpment that extends east from the plateau include Frost Spur, Alley Spur, Sapp Rocks and Nutt Bluff.
