Bingham Glacier

Bingham Glacier is a glacier in Palmer Land on the Antarctic Peninsula, about 15 nautical miles (28 kilometers) long, flowing east to the Antarctic Peninsula east coast and terminating at the Larsen Ice Shelf near Cape Reichelderfer. It was photographed from the air by Sir Hubert Wilkins in 1928 and by Lincoln Ellsworth in 1935, then mapped by the British Graham Land Expedition under John Rymill in 1936 and by the United States Antarctic Service in 1940. The UK Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1947 for Surgeon Lieutenant Commander E. W. Bingham of the Royal Navy, who took part in the British Graham Land Expedition sledging work near the glacier.
