Description (see definition): Glacier, 2 mi wide and 20 mi long, flowing W to Mikkelsen Bay along the N side of Sickle Mountain and Baudin Peaks, on the W coast of Graham Land. First roughly surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill. The glacier was traversed near its head by a U.S. Antarctic Service (USAS) sledge party in January 1941. Its lower reaches were surveyed in 1948-49 by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), and the glacier was named by them for Louis C.G. Clarke, Dir. of the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, 1937-46, who greatly assisted the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE), 1934-37.
