Ragotzkie Glacier


Ragotzkie Glacier is a glacier in the Britannia Range, about 10 nautical miles long, flowing northward along the west side of Mount Aldrich and coalescing with other north-flowing glaciers which enter the Hatherton Glacier to the southwest of Junction Spur. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Robert A. Ragotzkie, project director for United States Antarctic Research Program studies of lakes in the ice-free valleys. He made personal studies in Victoria Land in the 1962–63 season.
Ragotzkie Icefall is an icefall 2.5 nautical miles wide in the E-central part of Ragotzkie Glacier, Britannia Range. The icefall is a significant distributary of Ragotzkie ice to Alley Glacier, which occupies the valley to the east. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in association with Ragotzkie Glacier.
