This child group collects Glaciers of Antarctica members located in East Antarctica, the continent's larger and higher landmass, spanning Queen Maud Land, Enderby Land, Wilkes Land, Coats Land on the Weddell Sea coast, and the Shackleton Range. East Antarctica holds by far the largest volume of the continent's ice, though much of its interior is less densely named than the coastal survey areas elsewhere, so this child group's glaciers are concentrated on its more accessible coastal margins and mountain ranges rather than evenly spread across its vast interior plateau.
