Swinford Glacier


Swinford Glacier is a tributary glacier, 6 nautical miles long, flowing southeast between Mount Holloway and Marshall Mountains to enter Beardmore Glacier. Discovered by the British Antarctic Expedition and named by Shackleton for his eldest son, Raymond Swinford. The map of the British Antarctic Expedition and some subsequent maps transpose the positions of Swinford Glacier and Berwick Glacier. The latter lies 12 nautical miles northeastward. The original application of Berwick Glacier is the one recommended.
