Arruiz Glacier


Arruiz Glacier is a tributary glacier in the Explorers Range of the Bowers Mountains in Victoria Land, Antarctica. It flows west-northwest from Stanwix Peak and enters Rennick Glacier north of Frolov Ridge. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos, 1960-62, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Lieutenant Alberto J. Arruiz, Argentine IGY observer, a Weather Central meteorologist at Little America V in 1958. The glacier lies on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
