Recovery Glacier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Recovery Glacier is a glacier, at least 100 km (60 mi) long and 64 km (40 mi) wide at its mouth, flowing west along the southern side of the Shackleton Range in Antarctica. First seen from the air and examined from the ground by the CTAF in 1957, and so named because of the recovery of the expedition's vehicles which repeatedly broke into bridged crevasses on this glacier during the early stages of the crossing of Antarctica.
