Narrative

A tributary glacier entering the west side of Beardmore Glacier, between the Marshall and Wild Mountains, in Queen Alexandra Range in southern Victoria Land. This glacier was, in 1908, named the Swinford Glacier by the BAE, 1907-09, but a subsequent cartographic error exchanging the positions of the Swinford and Berwick Glaciers on the charts of the BAE, 1910-13, has caused the name Berwick to become well established. Berwick Glacier was named for HMS Berwick, a vessel on which Lieutenant (later Sir) Jameson B Adams, second in command of the BAE, 1907-09, had previously served. (The renamed Swinford Glacier lies approximately 10 miles north of Berwick Glacier.)
