Discovery Glacier

The glacier flows north to coalesce with the east margin of lower Koettlitz Glacier. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) (1999) in association with Mount Discovery, which Captain Robert Scott had named after the expedition ship of the Discovery expedition, 1901-04.
