Merrick Glacier
Merrick Glacier (80°13′S 158°52′E / 80.217°S 158.867°E) is a steep tributary glacier just east of Sennet Glacier in the Britannia Range in Antarctica, descending southwestward to enter Byrd Glacier at the west end of Horney Bluff. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names, in association with nearby Byrd Glacier, for USS Merrick, a cargo ship (Central Group of Task Force 68) of U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, led by Admiral Byrd.[1]
