Description (see definition): A small glacier immediately S of Miers Glacier in Victoria Land. The heads of these two glaciers are separated by a low ridge, and the E end of this ridge is almost completely surrounded by the snouts of the two glaciers, which nearly meet in the bottom of the valley, about 1 mi above Lake Miers, into which they drain. Named by the New Zealand Northern Survey Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (CTAE) (1956-58) after Lieutenant (later Sir) Jameson B. Adams, second in command of the shore party of the British Antarctic Expedition (BrAE) (1907-09), who was one of the men to accompany Shackleton to within 97 mi of the South Pole.
