Description (see definition): A large glacier, one of the major sources of the Fry Glacier, in the Convoy Range, Victoria Land. The glacier drains the W part of Flight Deck Neve and flows N between Elkhorn Ridge and Sunker Nunataks to Fry Glacier. A lobe of the glacier flows W a short distance into the mouth of Greenville Valley. Named by the New Zealand Northern Survey Party (1956-57) of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (CTAE) after the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter (USCGC) Northwind, an icebreaker in the main American convoy into McMurdo Sound that season.
