This name originates from New Zealand. It is part of the New Zealand Gazetteer and the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.
A glacier about 14 miles long flowing into the Shackleton Glacier from the Prince Olav Mountains. It is the only tributary glacier feeding the Shackleton Glacier from the east. At the head of the glacier, Mt Oliver and Mt Sellery rise to just over 14,000 feet above sea level, and the glacier sweeps over impressive icefalls and around Mt Finley into the Shackleton Glacier, and is a most distinctive landmark on the east side of the Shackleton Glacier. Surveyed and Named by the Southern Party of the N.Z. Geological and Survey Antarctic Expedition, 1961/62, for V.R. McGregor, geologist with that party.
