'''Swann Glacier''' ({{coord|73|53|S|61|48|W|display=inline,title}}) is a broad [[glacier]] of undetermined length flowing east into [[Wright Inlet]] to the north of [[Mount Tricorn]], on the east coast of [[Palmer Land]]. The glacier was discovered and photographed from the air in December 1940 by members of [[East Base]] of the [[United States Antarctic Service]] (USAS). During 1947 it was photographed from the air by members of the [[Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition]] (RARE), under Ronne, who in conjunction with the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) charted it from the ground. Named by Ronne for Physicist [[W.F.G. Swann]], Director of the [[Bartol Research Foundation]] of [[Franklin Institute]] at Swarthmore, PA, a contributor to the expedition. |
