Narrative

A small glacier 4 mi N of Chaos Glacier, flowing westward into the north extremity of Ranvik Bay. The glacier was charted by Norwegian cartographers from air photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936-37), and was further identified in John H. Roscoe's 1952 study of this area from USN Operation Highjump (1946-47) photography. Named by Roscoe for Lt. (j.g.) Eduardo P. Brown, USN, photographic officer with the western task group of Operation Highjump.
