Larson Glacier
Larson Glacier (77°28′S 154°0′W / 77.467°S 154.000°W) is a tributary glacier that drains northwest from La Gorce Peak in the Alexandra Mountains of Antarctica and enters the south side of Butler Glacier, on Edward VII Peninsula. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–65, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for helicopter pilot Lieutenant Commander Conrad S. Larson, U.S. Navy, officer in charge of the helicopter detachment aboard the icebreaker USCGC Eastwind during Operation Deep Freeze, 1955–56.[1]
