Description
(see definition):
Glacier on the E side of Alexander Island, 7 mi long and 3 mi wide, which flows E from the cliffs of Mounts Egbert, Ethelwulf and Ethelred into the W side of George VI Sound immediately S of Mount King. First roughly surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill. Resurveyed in 1948 by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), and so named by them because of the extremely broken condition of the lower reaches of the glacier.
