Detail InformationEdit

Mercury Glacier is a glacier on the east coast of Alexander Island, Antarctica, 5 nautical miles (9 km) long and 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) wide, flowing east into George VI Sound lying between Waitabit Cliffs and Keystone Cliffs. Although Mercury Glacier is not located within Planet Heights, it is named in association with the heights along with many other nearby glaciers named after planets of the Solar System.
The glacier was probably first sighted from a distance by Lincoln Ellsworth, who flew near it and photographed segments of this coast on November 23, 1935. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for the planet Mercury following rough surveys from George VI Sound by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1948 and 1949. Mapped in detail from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947–48, by Searle of the FIDS in 1960.
