Myers Glacier

Myers Glacier (72°16′S 100°7′W) is a valley glacier about 7 nautical miles (13 km) long, flowing southwest from Mount Noxon on Thurston Island to Abbot Ice Shelf in Peacock Sound. Delineated from aerial photographs taken by U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6 in January 1960. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Lieutenant (j.g.) Dale P. Myers, U.S. Navy, helicopter pilot aboard USS Burton Island who made exploratory flights to Thurston Island in February 1960.
