Description (see definition): A glacier flowing S from the area around Mount Johnson into Larsen Ice Shelf just W of Shiver Point, on the E coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. The name "Hektoria Fiords" was given by Sir Hubert Wilkins during his flight of Dec. 20, 1928, after the S.S. Following survey by Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1947, the feature could not be identified; however, during further survey by Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1955, Wilkins' "long ice-filled fiords" were found to be this glacier and two short unnamed ones.
