Names that other countries have for this feature:
A steep valley glacier flowing north-east from the north side of Mt Fridtjof Nansen to the head of the Ross Ice Shelf, flanked on the north-west by the Duncan Mountains and on the south-east by the mountainous ridge terminating in Mt Betty. The glacier derives its name from Strom Camp, near its foot, occupied at various times during December 1929 by the Geological Party, led by Gould, of the Byrd AE, 1929-30. Strom Camp was named by that party for Sverre Strom, first mate of the expedition ship City of New York, who remained ashore as a member of the winter party and headed the snow-mobile crew which hauled supplies in support of the two field parties.
