Quonset Glacier

Quonset Glacier (coord|85|19|S|127|5|W|type:glacier_region:AQ|display=inline,title) is a glacier about 20 miles (32 km) long which drains the north slopes of Wisconsin Range between Mount LeSchack and Ruseski Buttress and trends west-northwest to enter the north side of Davisville Glacier. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960-64, it was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) after the Naval Air Station Quonset Point, Rhode Island, home base of Antarctic Development Squadron Six (VXE-6).
