Discovery and naming

Wilma Glacier and Robert Glacier were both seen by an ANARE party led by Robert E. Dovers in November 1954. Dovers, accompanied by G. Schwartz, was carrying out a sledge journey and survey of Edward VIII Bay at the time. Wilma Glacier was named by Robert George Dovers for Dovers' wife. Dovers was officer in charge and surveyor at Mawson Station in 1954.
