Beaver Glacier (83°24′S 169°30′E) is a glacier, 15 miles long, draining the coastal mountains of the Queen Alexandra Range just northwest of Mount Fox and entering the Ross Ice Shelf atMcCann Point. It was named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE) (1959-60) after the Beaver aircraft City of Auckland, which crashed in this area in January 1960.
