Irwin Glacier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Irwin Glacier () is a steep tributary glacier in the Bowers Mountains, draining northeast from Edlin Neve and at the terminus coalescing with Montigny Glacier (from the north), with which it enters the larger Graveson Glacier. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960-64. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Carlisle S. Irwin, glaciologist, who participated in the study of Meserve Glacier in 1966-67.
