McCraw Glacier

McCraw Glacier (80°7′S 156°35′E) is a glacier in the Britannia Range, Antarctica, draining the northwest slopes of Mount Olympus and flowing north, westward of Johnstone Ridge, to enter Hatherton Glacier. It was named by a University of Waikato geological party, 1978–79, led by Michael Selby, and named for John D. McCraw, Dean of Science at the university, a member on a 1959–60 field party to the McMurdo Dry Valleys.[1]
