Lillie Glacier


Lillie Glacier (70°45′S 163°55′E / 70.750°S 163.917°E / -70.750; 163.917Coordinates: 70°45′S 163°55′E / 70.750°S 163.917°E / -70.750; 163.917) is a large glacier in Antarctica, about 100 nautical miles (190 km) long and 10 nautical miles (19 km) wide. It lies between the Bowers Mountains on the west and the Concord Mountains and Anare Mountains on the east, flowing to Ob' Bay on the coast and forming the Lillie Glacier Tongue.

The glacier tongue (70°34′S 163°48′E / 70.567°S 163.800°E / -70.567; 163.800), the prominent seaward extension of the glacier into Ob' Bay, was discovered by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–13, when the Terra Nova explored westward of Cape North in February 1911. It was named by the expedition for Dennis G. Lillie, a biologist on the Terra Nova. The name Lillie has since been extended to the entire glacier.
