Place ID: 9877
A channel glacier flowing to the E side of Porpoise Bay, about 3 mi SW of Cape Morse. Delineated from air photos taken by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47). Named by US-ACAN for William H. Morse, purser's steward on the brig Porpoise of the USEE (1838-42) under Wilkes. Due to an inadvertent error, this placename was incorrectly spelled "Mose Glacier" for a number of years. |
