Ellen Glacier

Ellen Glacier

The Ellen Glacier is an Antarctic glacier in central Sentinel Range, Ellsworth Mountains, draining the eastern slopes of Mount Anderson and Long Gables and flowing generally SE for 35 km (22 mi) to Barnes Ridge, where it leaves the range and enters the south flowing Rutford Ice Stream.

First mapped by United States Geological Survey from surveys and USN air photos, 1957-59. Named by US-ACAN for Lt. Col. Cicero J. Ellen, USAF, who was in command of many of the air operations when the South Pole Station was established by air drop in the 1956-57 season.
