Tucker Glacier

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tucker Glacier (72°32′S, 169°15′E) is a major valley glacier of Victoria Land, about 144 km (90 mi) long, flowing southeast between Admiralty Mountains and Victory Mountains to the Ross Sea. There is a snow saddle at the glacier's head, just west of Homerun Range, from which Ebbe Glacier flows northwestward.

Explored by NZGSAE, 1957-58, and named by them after Tucker Inlet, the ice-filled coastal indentation at the mouth of this glacier named by Captain Ross in 1841.
