Description
(see definition):
Small glacier lying 5 mi WSW of Cape Chocolate and immediately S of Salmon Hill in Victoria Land. It appears on the charts of the British Antarctic Expedition (BrAE) (1910-13) as Davis Glacier, a name given to another feature in Victoria Land. To avoid the confusion of having identical names for nearby features, this glacier was renamed after nearby Salmon Hill by the New Zealand Northern Survey Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (CTAE), 1956-58.
