Description (see definition): A glacier flowing NW along the S side of Morgan Upland before turning W into the N portion of Wordie Ice Shelf, along the W coast of Antarctic Peninsula. Roughly surveyed by British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE), 1936-37. The upper reaches were photographed from the air by Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947. Surveyed from the ground by members of Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) who travelled along it in Dec. 1958. Named by UK Antarctic Place-names Committee (UK-APC) after Thomas Hariot (1560-1621), English mathematician who pioneered new methods of navigation under the patronage of Sir Walter Raleigh.
