Narrative

Glacier, 6 mi long and 2 mi wide, flowing W from Elgar Uplands into Nichols Snowfield, in the N part of Alexander Island. First seen from the air and roughly mapped by the BGLE in 1937. More accurately mapped from air photos taken by the RARE, 1947-48, by Searle of the FIDS in 1960, and from U.S. Landsat imagery of February 1975. Named by UK-APC after Frederick Delius (1862-1934), British composer.
