| Icebreaker Glacier (NZL) | 73° 37' 00.0" S | 166° 10' 00.0" E | Glacier |

Name ID: 113605
Place ID: 6844
A large valley glacier draining to the Lady Newnes Ice Shelf from the country between Mt Murchison and Mt Monteagle. In its upper reaches there are extensive ice falls and cascades, and a few miles above them there is an easy pass to the Aviator Glacier. It is possible that the pass is a diffluence through which some ice from the Aviator Glacier passes to the Icebreaker Glacier. Close to its mouth this glacier is joined by the Benefactor Glacier. A shorter and narrower valley glacier separates the work of the complements of the US Navy and US coastguard ice-breakers in Antarctic exploration, in supporting scientists and in aiding other shipping. |

A large valley glacier 10 mi NE of Mount Monteagle that flows SE from the Mountaineer Range to Lady Newnes Bay, Victoria Land. Below Hermes Point, its flow coalesces with that of Fitzgerald Glacier. Named by the NZGSAE, 1958-59, as a tribute to the work of the complements of U.S. Navy, and U.S. Coast Guard icebreakers in Antarctic exploration, in supporting scientists and in aiding other ships. |
