Attlee Glacier

Attlee Glacier

Attlee Glacier (coord|66|13|S|63|46|W|type:glacier_region:AQ|display=inline,title) is a glacier 8 miles (13 km) long, which flows east-southeast from the plateau escarpment on the east side of Graham Land to the head of Cabinet Inlet to the north of Bevin Glacier. During December 1947, the glacier was charted from the ground by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and photographed from the air by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE). Named by the FIDS for Rt. Hon. Clement R. Attlee, M.P., British Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs, member of the War Cabinet, and later Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
