Mahaffey Glacier

Mahaffey Glacier (72°18′S 96°26′W) is a glacier flowing into the head of Morgan Inlet at the east end of Thurston Island, Antarctica. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after J.S. Mahaffey, a Photographer's Mate in the Eastern Group of U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, which obtained aerial photographs of Thurston Island and adjacent coastal areas in 1946–47.
