Millett Glacier

Millett Glacier (70°37′S 67°40′W / 70.617°S 67.667°W / -70.617; -67.667) is a heavily crevassed glacier in Antarctica, 13 nautical miles (24 km) long and 7 nautical miles (13 km) wide, flowing west from the Dyer Plateau of Palmer Land to George VI Sound, immediately north of Wade Point. In its lower reaches the north side of this glacier merges with Meiklejohn Glacier. It was first surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1954 for Hugh M. Millett, chief engineer of the Penola during the BGLE, 1934-37.
