A small glacier that drains the W end of the Fosdick Mountains, between Mounts Ferranto and Avers, and flows NW to Block Bay, in Marie Byrd Land. The glacier was photographed by the USAS (1939-41), led by Admiral Byrd, and was mapped by the USGS from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos (1959-65). Named for Dr. B. Harrison Ragle, Admiral Byrd's personal physician in the late 1930s, who made financial contributions toward purchase of first aid equipment and medical supplies for USAS (1939-41) and was a consultant on medical matters for that expedition. |
