Ketchum Glacier


Ketchum Glacier is an eastward flowing glacier at the base of Palmer Land, Antarctica, about long, descending between the Latady Mountains and the Scaife Mountains into Gardner Inlet. It was discovered by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947–48, under Finn Ronne, who named it for Commander Gerald Ketchum, U.S. Navy, commander of the icebreaker which broke the ice to free the RARE from Marguerite Bay for the return home.
