Names that other countries have for this feature:
Glacier between Kinnear Mountains and Mayer Hills, flowing N into Forster Ice Piedmont on the W coast of Antarctic Peninsula. First roughly surveyed in 1936 by the BGLE under Rymill. In 1954 the UK-APC gave the name Prospect Pass to a col between Eureka Glacier and the glacier here described. During resurvey of the area by the FIDS in 1958, the col was found to be an indeterminate feature, while this glacier is well marked and requires a name.
