Description
(see definition):
A tributary glacier, 15 mi long and 2 mi wide, draining ENE between Grimley and Lurabee Glaciers into Casey Glacier, in northern Palmer Land. Photographed from the air by Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) on Dec. 22, 1947. Surveyed by Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in Nov. 1960. The name derives from the important sun fix for latitude which was observed by Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) at the head of this glacier, an area where cloud seldom allows such observation.
