Commonwealth Glacier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Commonwealth Glacier is a glacier which flows in a southeastern direction and enters the northern side of Taylor Valley immediately west of Mount Coleman, in Victoria Land, Antarctica. Charted and named by the British Antarctic Expedition (BrAE) under Scott, 1910-13. Named for the Commonwealth of Australia, which made a financial grant to the BrAE and contributed two members to the Western Geological Party which explored this area.
