Narrative

A steep glacier about 45 miles long flowing north from the Polar Plateau along the west side of the Duncan Mountains to the Ross Ice Shelf. Discovered in November 1911 by Amundsen, who named it for the daughter of Dr Fridtjof Nansen. This glacier was selected by Byrd as the route to the Polar Plateau for his flight from Little America to the South Pole on 28 November 1929.
