Ketchum Glacier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ketchum Glacier () is an eastward flowing glacier at the base of Palmer Land, about 50 miles (80 km) long, descending between the Latady Mountains and the Scaife Mountains into Gardner Inlet. It was discovered by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947-48, under Ronne, who named it for Cdr. Gerald Ketchum, USN, commander of the icebreaker Burton Island which broke the ice to free the RARE from Marguerite Bay for the return home.
