Dead End Glacier is a glacier flowing east from the south end of the Salvesen Range of South Georgia into the west side of Salomon Glacier. It was surveyed by the South Georgia Survey in the period 1951–57, and so named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee because there is no route for sledging parties from the head of this glacier to the north shore of Drygalski Fjord.
Lancing Glacier is a glacier 3 nautical miles (6 km) long, flowing south from Mount Corneliussen and Smillie Peak to Newark Bay on the south side of South Georgia. It was surveyed by the South Georgia Survey in the period 1951–57, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for the Lancing, built in 1898, and converted to a whale factory ship in 1923. It was the first factory ship to be fitted with a slipway.
Bagshawe Glacier is a glacier which drains the northeast slopes of Mount Theodore and discharges into Lester Cove, Andvord Bay west of Mount Tsotsorkov, on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica.
Nereson Glacier is a glacier about 5 nautical miles (9 km) long draining the north side of Siple Island. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) after Nadine A. Nereson, University of Washington, glaciologist whose research in West Antarctica during the 1990s focused on the history of ice flow, and the past and present stability of the ice sheet.
Swann Glacier is a broad glacier of undetermined length flowing east into Wright Inlet to the north of Mount Tricorn, on the east coast of Palmer Land. The glacier was discovered and photographed from the air in December 1940 by members of East Base of the United States Antarctic Service (USAS). During 1947 it was photographed from the air by members of the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), under Ronne, who in conjunction with the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) charted it from the ground. Named by Ronne for W.F.G. Swann, Director of the Barthol Research Foundation of Franklin Institute at Swarthmore, PA, a contributor to the expedition.
Swift Glacier is a steep glacier about 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) long, close west of Jefford Point, James Ross Island. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) following Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) surveys, 1958-61. The name is descriptive, this being one of the most active glaciers on the island.
Swithinbank Glacier is a glacier on the west side of Hemimont Plateau flowing north to the southeast corner of Square Bay, in Graham Land. Mapped by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) from surveys and air photos, 1946-59. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Charles Swithinbank, British glaciologist, a participant in several British, New Zealand and American expeditions to Antarctica, 1949-62.
Grubb Glacier is a glacier flowing into Lester Cove, Andvord Bay, to the west of Bagshawe Glacier, on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. The glacier appears on an Argentine government chart of 1952. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 for Thomas Grubb, an Irish optician who designed and introduced the first aplanatic camera lens, in 1857.
Punchbowl Glacier is a glacier that flows southwards between Poibrene Heights and Metlichina Ridge, and enters the north end of Exasperation Inlet, north of Jorum Glacier, on the east side of Graham Land, Antarctica. Surveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1947 and 1955. The name applied by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) is descriptive of shape as the glacier is hemmed in by mountains.
Pettus Glacier is a narrow deeply entrenched glacier 9 nautical miles (17 km) long, which flows north from Ebony Wall into Gavin Ice Piedmont between Poynter Hill and Tinsel Dome, Trinity Peninsula. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Robert N. Pettus, aircraft pilot with Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (FIDASE), 1956-57.
Goldsmith Glacier is a glacier flowing west-northwest through the Theron Mountains of Antarctica, 6 nautical miles (11 km) south of Tailend Nunatak. It was first mapped in 1956–57 by the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (CTAE) and named for Rainer Goldsmith, medical officer with the advance party of the CTAE in 1955-56.
Lucchitta Glacier is a glacier about 20 nautical miles (37 km) long flowing south from the Hudson Mountains of Antarctica into Pine Island Bay. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after geologist Baerbel K. Lucchitta of the United States Geological Survey, Flagstaff, Arizona, a specialist in the use of satellite imagery for geological and glaciological studies from the early 1980s to the early 2000s (decade), and one of the pioneers in the use of imagery for glacier velocity measurements in Antarctica.
Stapleton Glacier is a glacier about 6 nautical miles (11 km) long flowing east from King Peninsula just north of Morelli Glacier. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) after Jo Anne Stapleton, United States Geological Survey (USGS), Reston, Virginia, geographer and map specialist, participated in Antarctic map production from the 1980s to the present, part of the USGS team that compiled the 1:5,000,000-scale Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer maps of Antarctica and the 1: 250,000-scale Landsat TM image maps of the Siple Coast area.
Clarke Glacier is a 2-mile-wide, 20-mile-long glacier, located on the west coast of Graham Land in Antarctica. It flows west, along the north side of Sickle Mountain and the Baudin Peaksm, to Mikkelsen Bay.
