running NW-SE and rising to c. 300m at head of Nantucket Inlet and on SW side of Johnston Glacier, Lassiter Coast, was seen from the air by RARE, 21 November 1947, and partly surveyed from the ground by FIDS-RARE from "Stonington Island" in December 1947. The name D.M. Little Glacier was applied to a minor tributary of Johnston Glacier on the SW side (AGS map, 1948), and the name Cape Easson was applied to Cape Little (q.v.) "after the Easson family of Nova Scotia in honor of the expedition's radio operator, Lawrence D. Kelsy" [sic] (AGS map, 1948). The name of Lawrence De Wolfe Kelsey, of Sacramento, Cal., was later transferred to the glacier. Kelsey Glacier (Ronne, 1948b, map p.357, p.372, 390; APC, 1955, p.13; USHO chart 6638, 1955; DOS 601 sheet W 74 62, 1958). Delbert Little Glacier, Little Glacier, as rejected names (USBGN, 1949, p.31). Lednik Kelsi (Soviet Union. MMF chart, 1961). Glaciar Kelsey (Chile. IGM map 28, 1966). Air photography by USN, 1965-67, showed no significant tributary of Johnston Glacier on its SW side, and the name of Kelsey was re-applied to the present feature.
