Vanderford Glacier
Vanderford Glacier is a glacier about 8 km wide flowing northwest into the southeast side of Vincennes Bay, slightly south of the Windmill Islands. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Benjamin Vanderford, pilot of the sloop of war Vincennes of the United States Exploring Expedition which was under Captain Wilkes from 1838 to 1842.| Tap on a place to explore it |
