Narrative

An extensive nivi lying westward of Eisenhower Range in Victoria Land. Reeves Glacier, which drains southeastward to the coast, has its source in this nivi.

Named For

Named by the New Zealand Antarctic Place Names Committee in association with Reeves Glacier. Reeves Glacier is a broad glacier originating on the interior upland and descending between Eisenhower Range and Mt. Larsen to merge with the Nansen Ice Sheet along the coast of Victoria Land. Discovered and named by the British Antarctic Expedition 1907-9, under Shackleton. The New Zealand Antarctic Place Names Committee reported that the glacier is probably named after William Pember Reeves, former New Zealand Liberal Cabinet Minister, and the Agent-General for New Zealand in London, 1896-1909. The feature lies partly within the Ross Dependency.
