Rachel Glacier


Rachel Glacier is a glacier on the east coast of Graham Land, 6 nautical miles long, flowing east between Krupen Ridge and Padesh Ridge to enter Exasperation Inlet southwest of Mihaylovski Crag. The name, applied by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee, is taken from Herman Melville's Moby Dick, the Rachel being a ship from Nantucket which met the Pequod and brought news of a lost whaleboat.
