Vivaldi Glacier is a glacier lying between the Colbert Mountains and the Lully Foothills, flowing south from Purcell Snowfield into the head of Schubert Inlet on the west coast of Alexander Island, Antarctica. The feature appears to be first shown on maps of the United States Antarctic Service (USAS) which photographed Alexander Island from the air in 1940. It was mapped from air photos obtained by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition in 1947–48, by Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1960. Named "Vivaldi Gap" by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1961, after Antonio Vivaldi (1678–1741), Venetian composer. The name was amended to Vivaldi Glacier following review of Landsat program imagery, 1979, displaying flow lines in the feature.
Norman Glacier is a glacier, 5 nautical miles (9 km) long, flowing southwest from Palmer Land to enter George VI Sound just north of Bushell Bluff, in Antarctica. It was named, by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC), for Shaun M. Norman, the base commander with the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) at Stonington Island from 1966 to 1968.
Cordini Glacier is a broad glacier that drains the Mount Bailey vicinity and flows between Lewis Point and James Nunatak to the east coast of Palmer Land. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Argentine scientist I. Rafael Cordini, the author of reports on the geology and ice of the Antarctic Peninsula and the Weddell Sea region.
Croom Glacier is a steep, broad glacier flowing to the head of Smith Inlet between Moe Point and Hughes Ice Piedmont, on the east coast of Palmer Land. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey in 1974, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for John M. Croom, who was a United States Antarctic Research Program biologist at Palmer Station in 1968–69 and a U.S. Exchange Scientist at the Soviet Bellingshausen Station in 1970.
Deadmond Glacier is a glacier about 6 nautical miles (11 km) long, flowing from the east side of Evans Peninsula on Thurston Island into Cadwalader Inlet.

Deadmond, executive officer of USS Burton Island, forming part of this expedition.
Delius Glacier is a glacier, 6 nautical miles (11 km) long and 2 nautical miles (4 km) wide, flowing west from the Elgar Uplands into Nichols Snowfield, in the northern part of Alexander Island, Antarctica.

It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Frederick Delius, the British composer.
Depot Glacier is a well-defined valley glacier, flanked by lateral moraines, which terminates in a high vertical ice cliff at the head of Hope Bay, in the northeast end of the Antarctic Peninsula. It was discovered by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Otto Nordenskiöld, and so named by him because, as seen from Antarctic Sound, it appeared to be a possible site for a depot.

Transition Glacier is a glacier extending along the east coast of Alexander Island, 8 nautical miles (15 km) long and 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) wide, which flows east into the George VI Ice Shelf that occupies George VI Sound along the north side of Block Mountain and Tilt Rock. The glacier was first photographed from the air on November 23, 1935, by Lincoln Ellsworth and mapped from these photos by W.L.G. Joerg. Surveyed in 1949 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, and so named by them because this glacier marks the transition between igneous rocks to the north and sedimentary rocks to the south.

Bishop Glacier is a glacier flowing southwest into the Mozart Ice Piedmont, situated in the northwest portion of Alexander Island, Antarctica. This feature was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-names Committee (UK-APC) in 1980 after James Francis Bishop (1950-1980), a former glaciologist of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) 1972-78, who worked in Alexander Island, 1973-75. He was killed in the Karakoram Range, Pakistan, on July 14, 1980, at this time, he was a member of Royal Geographical Society International Karakoram Project.
