Narrative

A glacier nearly 20 mi long in the NW part of the Admiralty Mountains, Victoria Land. The glacier flows N and then NW, eventually coalescing with the lower portions of Dennistoun and Nash Glaciers just before all three reach the sea just E of Cape Scott. Mapped by USGS from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960-63. Named by US-ACAN for Staff Sergeant Nathaniel Wallis, who perished in the crash of a C-154 Globemaster aircraft in this vicinity in 1958.
