Narrative

flowing NW between Panzarini Hills and Schneider Hills, Argentina Range, into Support Force Glacier, Pensacola Mountains, was seen from the air by the Grupo Aeronaval UT 78 on the first Argentine flight to the South Pole in January 1962 and called descriptively Valle Medio [=middle valley] (Argentina. MM, NM 21/1.xi.1964; Pierrou, 1970, p.513); surveyed from the ground by USGS, 1965-66, and photographed from the air by USN in 1967; named San Martín Glacier after the Argentine icebreaker General San Martín which brought in the party that established "General Belgrano Station" on Filchner Ice Shelf (q.v.), 1954-55, and made subsequent relief and resupply voyages to this station and "Ellsworth Station" (USGS sheet SU 21-25/11, 1968; APC, 1974, p.6).
