The Dennistoun Glacier is a glacier, 80 km (50 mi) long, draining the northern slopes of Mounts Black Prince, Royalist and Adam in the Admiralty Mountains of Victoria Land. "Glacial" and "Glaciation" redirect here For the geological periods see Glacial period. Mount Black Prince is a Mountain composed of dark colored rock which tends to create an imposing appearance Mount Royalist is a prominent Mountain standing 3 km (2 mi west of Mount Adam in Victoria Land. Mount Adam may refer to Mount Adam (Antarctica Mount Adam (British Columbia Mount Adam Falkland Islands The Admiralty Mountains (alternatively Admiralty Range) is a large group of high Mountains and individually-named ranges and ridges in northeastern Victoria Land is a region of Antarctica bounded on the east by the Ross Sea and on the west by Wilkes Land. It flows northwest between the Lyttelton Range and Dunedin Range, turning east on rounding the latter range to enter the sea south of Cape Scott. The Lyttelton Range ( is a narrow northwest-trending Mountain range located south of Dunedin Range in the Admiralty Mountains of Antarctica. The Dunedin Range ( is a northwest-trending Mountain range, 37 km (23 mi long and 3 to 6 km (2 to 4 mi wide located 8 km east of Lyttelton Range in the Admiralty Cape Scott ( is a cape at the western side of the terminus of Dennistoun Glacier on the northern coast of Victoria Land in Antarctica. The coastal extremity of the glacier was charted in 1911-12 by the Northern Party, led by Victor Lindsay Arbuthnot Campbell, of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-13. Victor Lindsay Arbuthnot Campbell DSO & Bar, OBE ( 20 August 1875 &ndash 19 November 1956) was a British sailor
The glacier is named after James R. Dennistoun, New Zealand alpinist who was in charge of the mules on board the Terra Nova on her way to Antarctica. New Zealand is an Island country in the south-western Pacific Ocean comprising two main landmasses (the North Island and the South Island The entire extent of the glacier was mapped by USGS from surveys and U. S. Navy aerial photography, 1960-63. The name Fowlie Glacier, a tributary glacier, has been inadvertently misapplied to this feature.
