A small glacier immediately S of Miers Glacier in Victoria Land.

Named by the N.Z. Northern Survey Party of the CTAE (1956-58) after Lt. (later Sir) Jameson B. Adams, second in command of the shore party of the BrAE (1907-09), who was one of the men to accompany Shackleton to within 97 mi of the South Pole. |
