Martin Glacier

Martin Glacier

Martin Glacier is a glacier, 3 miles (5 km) wide and 9 miles (14 km) long, which flows west and then northwest from the south side of Mount Lupa to the southeast corner of Rymill Bay where it joins the Bertrand Ice Piedmont, on the west coast of Graham Land. Martin Glacier was first surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under John Riddoch Rymill. Martin Glacier was resurveyed in 1948-1949 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and named for James H. Martin, member of the British Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) (1929-1931) under Sir Douglas Mawson, and first mate of the Penola during the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE), 1934-1937.
