Jorum Glacier

Glaciers and Ice Formations

Jorum Glacier is a glacier on the east coast of Graham Land, Antarctica, draining the southeast slopes of Forbidden Plateau and flowing east into Exasperation Inlet just north of Caution Point. Surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1947 and 1955, it was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for its punchbowl-shaped head, a jorum being a large bowl used for serving punch.
