Nursery Glacier

Glaciers and Ice Formations

Nursery Glacier is a coastal glacier in the Churchill Mountains of Antarctica, on the Shackleton Coast, flowing about 20 nautical miles (37 kilometers) southeast along the west side of the Darley Hills to enter the Ross Ice Shelf just south of Cape Parr. It was named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition of 1959 to 1960 after husky puppies were born there.
