Narrative

Glacier in SE Alexander Island, 15 mi long and 6 mi wide, flowing SE into the ice shelf of George VI Sound N of Corner Cliffs. The coast in this vicinity was first seen from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth on Nov. 23, 1935, and roughly mapped from photos obtained on that flight by W.L.G. Joerg. The glacier was surveyed in 1949 by the FIDS and named by the UK-APC for the planet Saturn.
