Lillie Glacier

Lillie Glacier

Lillie Glacier is a large glacier, about 160 km (100 mi) long and 16 km (10 mi) wide, between Bowers Mountains on the west and Concord and Anare Mountains on the east, flowing to Ob' Bay on the coast and forming the Lillie Glacier Tongue. The glacier tongue was discovered by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-13, and named for Dennis G. Lillie, biologist on the "Terra Nova". The name Lillie has since been extended to the entire glacier. The lower half of the glacier was plotted by ANARE (Thala Dan), 1962, which explored the area and utilized air photos taken by USN Operation Highjump, 1946-47. The whole feature was mapped by USGS from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960-62.
