From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frost Glacier (67°5′S 129°0′ECoordinates: 67°5′S 129°0′E) is a channel glacier flowing to the head of Porpoise Bay. It was delineated from air photos taken by USN Operation Highjump (1946-47), and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for John Frost, boatswain on the brig Porpoise of the United States Exploring Expedition (1838-42) under Charles Wilkes.
