Narrative

A glacier flowing north-west from Chapman Snowfield, and located between Green Nunatak at south-west and Keating Massif at north-east, Churchill Mountains. Named after John A Gamble, geological scientist, Victoria University of Wellington. John spent five field seasons (during 1984 - 93) in Antarctica working on mantle and crustal xenolith studies to understand the nature of the West Antarctic lithosphere. He has worked in Marie Byrd Land, including the West Antarctica Volcano Expedition (WAVE - 1989-92), and on the volcanoes in McMurdo Sound.
