Narrative

flowing N into Charcot Bay, Davis Coast. The cove W of Almond Point, at the terminus of this glacier, was surveyed by FIDS from "Hope Bay" in November 1948 and named Whitecloud Cove from the prevailing cloud conditions at the time of the survey (APC, 1955, p.22; BA, 1961, p.153.) Following air photography by FIDASE, 1956-57, the name was transferred to the glacier. Whitecloud Glacier (APC 1960, p.8; BAS 250 sheet SP 21-22/13, 1-DOS 1974).
