Names that other countries have for this feature:
A 40 mile glacier enclosed by the Queen Elizabeth Range and the coastal mountains of the Ross Ice Shelf, that flows northwards from the Bowden Névé to join the Nimrod Glacier 20 miles from Cape Lyttelton. The Lowery Glacier is fed by icefalls and tributary glaciers from the Bowden Névé, the Queen Elizabeth Range and the coastal mountains. Named by the NZ Geological and Topographical Survey Expedition, 1959-60, for J Lowery who, when a member of a field party of that expedition, suffered severe and permanent injuries in an accident in which a Sno-cat broke through a crevasse bridge just before the remainder of the party continued the programme and mapped this feature.
