Barne Glacier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barne Glacier () is a steep glacier which descends from the west slopes of Mount Erebus and terminates on the west side of Ross Island, between Cape Barne and Cape Evans where it forms a steep ice cliff. It was discovered by the Discovery expedition, 1901-04, under Scott, and named by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907-09, under Shackleton after nearby Cape Barne. It is named after Michael Barne of Sotterley, Suffolk who was the second lieutenant during the Discovery expedition.
