Narrative

A tributary glacier, 13 mi long, in the Admiralty Mountains, Victoria Land. From a common head with Dennistoun Glacier, it flows NW between Mount Ajax and Mount Faget, entering the main flow of the Dennistoun Glacier at the SE base of Lyttelton Range. Named after Walter Fowlie of the New Zealand Antarctic Division, field assistant with a NZARP geological party to this area, 1981-82, led by R.H. Findlay. The original application of the name (NZ-APC, US-ACAN 1983) was revised in 1994 in relation to Dennistoun Glacier, q.v.
