Narrative

A broken mountain glacier on the southern side of Mount Menzies, about 2 mi from the summit. It is about 5 mi long and 3 mi wide. The glacier flows from a snowfield at about 2,750 m down a steep slope for at least 900 m vertically, then spreads out and merges with the ice sheet a few mi from the S side of the mountain. Mapped from ANARE air photos and surveys of the Prince Charles Mountains, 1960-61. Named by ANCA for D.S. Trail, geologist who led an ANARE field party to this feature in December 1961.
