Chamberlin Glacier

This article is about the glacier in Antarctica. For the glacier in Greenland, see Chamberlin Glacier (Greenland).

Chamberlin Glacier (67°34′S 65°33′W / 67.567°S 65.55°W / -67.567; -65.55) is a glacier which flows northeast into Whirlwind Inlet about 4 miles (6.4 km) southeast of Matthes Glacier, on the east coast of Graham Land. It was discovered by Sir Hubert Wilkins on a flight of December 20, 1928, and in 1940 was photographed from the air by the United States Antarctic Service. It was charted in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, who named it for American glaciologist and geomorphologist Thomas C. Chamberlin, educator and professor of geology at the Universities of Wisconsin and Chicago.
