Glaciers and Ice Formations

Quartermain Glacier is a well defined, highly crevassed glacier on the north side of Fricker Glacier in Antarctica, separated from it in its upper reaches by Mount Kennett. It flows from the polar plateau into Mill Inlet on the east coast of Graham Land and was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Leslie B. Quartermain, a New Zealand historian of the Antarctic. This description is adapted from Wikipedia contributors under CC BY-SA 4.0; changes were made. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
