Names that other countries have for this feature:
A tributary glacier, 6 mi long, flowing SE between Mount Holloway and Marshall Mountains to enter Beardmore Glacier. Discovered by the BrAE (1907-09) and named by Shackleton for his eldest son, Raymond Swinford. The map of the BrAE (1910-13) and some subsequent maps transpose the positions of Swinford Glacier and Berwick Glacier. The latter lies 12 mi northeastward. The original application (BrAE, 1907-09) of Berwick Glacier is the one recommended.
