Branscomb Glacier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Branscomb Glacier () is an Antarctic glacier, 9.5 km (6 mi) long, flowing west from the north-west side of Vinson Massif (the highest point in Antarctica) into Nimitz Glacier, in the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains. The glacier was mapped by the USGS from surveys and USN aerial photographs between 1957 and 1960.
It was named by US-ACAN after Lewis M. Branscomb, Chairman of the National Science Board from 1982 to 1984.
