Narrative

Glacier which flows in an ESE direction to the E coast of Palmer Land where it terminates opposite the S tip of Hearst Island. The upper part of this glacier was seen by a sledge party of the BGLE under Rymill in 1936-37. The glacier was seen from the seaward side in 1940 by a sledging party from East Base of the USAS, and in 1947 was photographed from the air by the RARE under Ronne. Named by Ronne for Alexander Anthony of the J.P. Stevens Co., New York, which contributed windproof clothing to the RARE.
