Mercury Glacier (71°34′S 68°14′W / 71.567°S 68.233°W) is a glacier on the east coast of Alexander Island, Antarctica, 5 nautical miles (9 km) long and 2 nautical miles (4 km) wide, flowing east into George VI Sound between the Waitabit Cliffs and Keystone Cliffs. The glacier was probably first sighted from a distance by Lincoln Ellsworth, who flew near it and photographed segments of this coast on November 23, 1935. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for the planet Mercury following rough surveys from George VI Sound by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1948 and 1949. The glacier was mapped in detail from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition, 1947–48, by of the FIDS in 1960. Although Mercury Glacier is not located within the Pl

dbo:abstract
  • Der Merkur-Gletscher ist ein Gletscher an der Ostküste der westantarktischen Alexander-I.-Insel. Er fließt in östlicher Richtung zwischen den Keystone-Kliffs und den Waitabit-Kliffs zum George-VI-Sund. Erstmals gesichtet hat ihn vermutlich der US-amerikanische Polarforscher Lincoln Ellsworth bei einem Überflug am 23. November 1935. 1948 und 1949 folgten erste Vermessungen durch den Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). Der britische Geograph Derek Searle vom FIDS kartierte ihn 1960 anhand von Luftaufnahmen der Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948). Das UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee benannte ihn 1955 nach dem Planeten Merkur. (de)

  • Il ghiacciaio Mercurio è un ghiacciaio lungo circa 9 km e largo 4, situato sulla costa orientale dell'isola Alessandro I, al largo della costa della Terra di Palmer, in Antartide. Il ghiacciaio, il cui punto più alto si trova a oltre 500 m s.l.m., si trova nella parte centro-meridionale delle cime Pianeta, a nord-est del ghiacciaio Venere, e da qui fluisce verso sud-est fino ad andare ad alimentare la piattaforma di ghiaccio Giorgio VI, che ricopre l'omonimo canale, tra le , a sud, e le , a nord .

  • Mercury Glacier är en glaciär i Antarktis. Den ligger i Västantarktis. Argentina, Chile och Storbritannien gör anspråk på området. Mercury Glacier ligger 223 meter över havet. Terrängen runt Mercury Glacier är kuperad åt sydväst, men åt nordost är den platt. Terrängen runt Mercury Glacier sluttar österut. Den högsta punkten i närheten är 533 meter över havet, 2,4 kilometer norr om Mercury Glacier. Trakten är obefolkad. Det finns inga samhällen i närheten. (sv)
