Wright Lower Glacier
Wright Lower Glacier
is a stagnant
glacier
occupying the mouth of
Wright Valley
and coalescing at its east side with
Wilson Piedmont Glacier
, in
Victoria Land
. Formerly called Wright Glacier, but that name was amended by the
Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition
(VUWAE) (1958–59) to distinguish this glacier from
Wright Upper Glacier
at the head of Wright Valley. Originally named by the
British Antarctic Expedition
(1910–13) for
Charles Wright
, physicist with the expedition.
