Place ID: 11945
Glacier, at least 60 mi long and 40 mi wide at its mouth, flowing W along the S side of the Shackleton Range. First seen from the air and examined from the ground by the CTAF in 1957, and so named because of the recovery of the expedition's vehicles which repeatedly broke into bridged crevasses on this glacier during the early stages of the crossing of Antarctica. |
