Narrative

flowing E to Traffic Circle and Mercator Ice Piedmont, Bowman Coast, was photographed from the air by Wilkins on 20 December 1928, by Ellsworth on 23 November 1935, and by USAS in 1940; visited on the ground by USAS in January 1941 and sighted by RARE in 1947. The name Lammers Glacier, after Lester Lammers of Walla Walla, Wash., who contributed sledge dogs to RARE, was originally applied by RARE to Robillard Glacier (q.v.), but was later transferred to the present feature (USBGN, 1956, p.185; APC, 1962, p.19; DOS 610 sheet W 68 66, 1963). Glaciar Whirlwind, in error (Whirlwind Inlet, q.v.) (Argentina. MM chart 110, 1949). Glaciar Vórtice [=whirlwind glacier] (Argentina. MM, 1957b, p.12). The glacier was surveyed by FIDS from "Stonington Island" in December 1958.
