flowing E into New Bedford Inlet, Lassiter Coast, was photographed from the air by USAS, 30 December 1940 (USHO, 1943, upper photograph p.276); roughly surveyed from the ground by FIDS-RARE from "Stonington Island" in December 1947; in association with the names of Antarctic meteorologists grouped in this area, named after Wilhelm Meinardus (1867-1952), German geographer, meteorologist and climatologist; author of the meteorological reports of GAE, 1901-03 (Berlin and Leipzig, 1913, 1923), in which he first drew attention to what was later called the Antarctic convergence (APC, 1955, p.15; Australia. DI map, 1956; DOS sheet W 73 60, 1957; sheet W 73 62, 1957; USGS sketch map Ellsworth Land-Palmer Land, 1969). Lednik Meynardusa (Soviet Union. MMF chart, 1961). Glaciar Meinardus (Chile. IGM map 28, 1966). Lednik Meynardus (Soviet Union. AA, 1966, Pl.24). The glacier was photographed from the air by USN, 1966-69, and mapped from air photographs by USGS.

Extensive glacier flowing in an ENE direction to a point immediately E of Mount Barkow, where it is joined from the NW by Haines Glacier, and then E to enter New Bedford Inlet close W of Court Nunatak, on the E coast of Palmer Land. Discovered and photographed from the air in December 1940 by the USAS. During 1947 it was photographed from the air by the RARE under Ronne, who in conjunction with the FIDS charted it from the ground. Named by the FIDS for Wilhelm Meinardus, German meteorologist and climatologist and author of many publications including the meteorological results of the GerAE under Drygalski, 1901-03.
