Ebbe Glacier

Ebbe Glacier (71°03′S 164°45′E) is a tributary glacier about 60 nautical miles (110 km; 70 mi) long, draining northwest from the Homerun Range and the Robinson Heights, and then west-northwest between the Everett Range and the Anare Mountains into Lillie Glacier, Victoria Land, Antarctica. This feature saddles with Tucker Glacier, the latter draining southeast to the Ross Sea. The glacier lies situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.[1] Robertson Glacier is a tributary glacier to Ebbe Glacier.
