A glacier flowing into Ranvik Bay on the Ingrid Christensen Coast. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photographs taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936-37). Photographed by USN Operation Highjump and ANARE. Named by Dr J H Roscoe, after his 1952 study of Op Highjump air photos, due to the disturbed nature of the glacier.
