COMPOSITE GAZETTEER OF ANTARCTICA

flowing NW into Mikkelsen Bay, Fallières Coast, was roughly surveyed by BGLE in 1936 (Stephenson, 1940, map facing p.232); traversed by USAS in January 1941 (Ronne, 1945, p.20); called in error Windy Valley (q.v.) (USHO, 1943, photograph facing p.162); following partial resurvey by FIDS from "Stonington Island", 1948-49, named Clarke Glacier after Louis Colville Gray Clarke (1881-1960), Curator, Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Cambridge, 1922-37, and Director, Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, 1937-46, who greatly assisted BGLE and was a generous supporter of polar research (APC, 1955, p.7; USHO chart 6639, 1955; BA chart 3571, 14.vii.1961; DOS 610 sheet W 68 66, 1963).

Glacier, 2 mi wide and 20 mi long, flowing W to Mikkelsen Bay along the N side of Sickle Mountain and Baudin Peaks, on the W coast of Graham Land. First roughly surveyed in 1936 by the BGLE under Rymill. The glacier was traversed near its head by a USAS sledge party in January 1941. Its lower reaches were surveyed in 1948-49 by the FIDS, and the glacier was named by them for Louis C.G. Clarke, Dir. of the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, 1937-46, who greatly assisted the BGLE, 1934-37.
