Description (see definition): Glacier 15 mi long flowing eastward to the E coast of Antarctic Peninsula, with Cape Reichelderfer as its southern portal. The coast where Bingham Glacier reaches Larsen Ice Shelf was photographed by Sir Hubert Wilkins in 1928 and by Lincoln Ellsworth in 1935, and was mapped by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill, who with E.W. Bingham sledged across the peninsula to a point close S of this glacier in 1936. It was also mapped in 1940 by the U.S. Antarctic Service (USAS). Named by the US-SCAN in 1947 for Surgeon Lieutenant Commander E.W. Bingham, Royal Navy (RN), of the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE).
