COMPOSITE GAZETTEER OF ANTARCTICA

A heavily-crevassed glacier entering southeastern Weddell Sea immediately west of Brunt Ice Shelf. Discovered in January 1915 by a British expedition led by Schackleton. He named it for Elizabeth Dawson-Lambton, benefactress of the Shackleton expeditions.

flowing NW into Weddell Sea, S of Halley, Caird Coast, was sighted by BITAE, 16 January 1915, when it was described as a huge glacial overflow from the ice sheet, and named Dawson-Lambton Glacier after Miss Elizabeth Dawson-Lambton, a financial supporter of the expedition (Shackleton, 1919, p.xii, 27, end map; USBGN, 1947, p.153; AGS map, 1970).

Following surveys by BAS from Halley in 1967 and 1970, the feature was renamed Dawson-Lambton Ice Stream (Thomas, 1973, map p.6; APC, 1982, p.3). The ice stream was delineated from USLANDSAT imagery of 22 February 1974. Dawson-Lambton Glacier (BA chart 4024, 11.ix.1987)
