Narrative

A tributary glacier, 14 mi long, flowing SE between Marshall Mountains and Adams Mountains to enter Beardmore Glacier at Willey Point. Named by BrAE (1907-09) after HMS Berwick, a vessel on which Lt. Jameson B. Adams of BrAE had served. The map of the BrAE (1910-13) and some subsequent maps transpose the positions of Berwick Glacier and Swinford Glacier. The latter lies 12 mi southwestward. The original application (BrAE, 1907-09) of Berwick Glacier is the one recommended.
