Narrative

A meltwater stream that drains from Wales Glacier, flowing for approximately 4.5km, to Explorers Cove in New Harbour, Victoria Land. Feature depicted on: NZ AntTopo50-ME10

Named For

Named in association with Wales Glacier. The name was used by New Zealand geologist Burton Murrell in 1973, but he attributes it to an earlier use by CG Vucetich and HW Wellman. Part of this feature was originally named Commonwealth Stream by Troy L. Péwé in 1960 and depicted on NZMS 166 ST58-61/5 (1961). Another feature to the north later took on the name Commonwealth Stream.
