'''Haines Glacier''' ({{coord|73|21|S|62|33|W|source:GNIS|display=inline,title}}) is a [[glacier]] {{convert|4|nmi|km|0}} wide, flowing in a southeasterly direction and joining [[Meinardus Glacier]] immediately east of [[Mount Barkow]], on the east coast of [[Palmer Land]], Antarctica. It was discovered and photographed from the air in December 1940 by the [[United States Antarctic Service]]. During 1947 the glacier was photographed from the air by the [[Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition]], who in conjunction with the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) charted it from the ground. The glacier was named by the FIDS for [[William C. Haines]], an American meteorologist who was a member of the [[Byrd Antarctic Expedition]]s of 1928–30 and 1933–35, and was joint author of the meteorological reports of these two expeditions.<ref name=gnis/> |
