Law Glacier (84°5′S 161°0′E / 84.083°S 161.000°E / -84.083; 161.000) is a glacier about 10 nautical miles (20 km) wide between the south end of the Queen Elizabeth Range and the MacAlpine Hills, gradually descending east-northeast from the Antarctic polar plateau to Bowden Névé. It was named by the New Zealand party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956–58) for B.R. Law, Deputy-Chairman of the Ross Sea Committee.[1]
