Barne Glacier

Barne Glacier

Barne Glacier (coord|77|36|S|166|26|E|type:glacier_region:AQ|display=inline,title) is a steep glacier which descends from the west slopes of Mount Erebus and terminates on the west side of Ross Island, between Cape Barne and Cape Evans where it forms a steep ice cliff. It was discovered by the "Discovery" expedition, 1901-04, under Scott, and named by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907-09, under Shackleton after nearby Cape Barne. It is named after Michael Barne of Sotterley, Suffolk who was the second lieutenant during the Discovery expedition.
