Description (see definition): A major glacier, about 85 mi long, flowing from the polar plateau in a northerly direction between the Geologists and Miller Ranges, then northeasterly between the Churchill Mountains and Queen Elizabeth Range, and finally spilling into Shackleton Inlet and the Ross Ice Shelf between Capes Wilson and Lyttelton. It was photographed from the air by U.S. Navy (USN) OpHjp, 1946-47. The name, given by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN), is in association with Shackleton Inlet and is for the Nimrod, the ship of the British Antarctic Expedition (BrAE) (1907-09) under Shackleton.
