Glacier, 8 mi long, which flows from the N slopes of Mount Lupa northwestward along the NE side of the Blackwall Mountains into Providence Cove, Neny Fjord, on the W coast of Graham Land. The lower reaches of the glacier were first roughly surveyed in 1936 by the BGLE under Rymill. Resurveyed in 1948-49 by the FIDS, who so named it for its association with Romulus Glacier, whose head lies near the head of this glacier. |
