This name originates from New Zealand. It is part of the New Zealand Gazetteer and the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.
Names that other countries have for this feature:
A major valley glacier lying between Daniell Peninsula and the south-east end of the Victory Mountains. The name was applied partly because of its literal meaning, and partly because of proximity of the glacier to the Admiralty Range, the Admiralty Office in London being situated in Whitehall. Its terminal face abuts against the lower part of Tucker Glacier but does not contribute ice to it, being stagnant and probably afloat . It has a low gradient and could probably be used as a sledging route between the Lady Newnes Ice Shelf and the Tucker Glacier-Hallett Station district, but for the fact that extremely broken area near its terminal face is a maze of melt pools and ice ridges. Sledging in that area would be almost impossible, especially in January and February. Named by the NZGSAE, 1957-58.
