Demorest Glacier

Glaciers and Ice Formations

Demorest Glacier lies on the northeast side of the Hemimont Plateau on the east coast of Graham Land, Antarctica, flowing southeast into Whirlwind Inlet between Flint Glacier and Matthes Glacier. It was discovered by Sir Hubert Wilkins during a flight on December 20, 1928, photographed from the air by the United States Antarctic Service in 1940, and charted by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1947, which named it for Max H. Demorest, an American glaciologist. This description is adapted from Wikipedia contributors under CC BY-SA 4.0; changes were made. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
