About PINTOMAP Beardmore Glacier (Antarctica)The Beardmore Glacier () in Antarctica is the largest glacier in the world, with a length exceeding 160 km (100 mi). The glacier is one of the main passages from the Ross Ice Shelf through the Queen Alexandra and Commonwealth ranges of the Transantarctic Mountains to the Antarctic Plateau, and thus made the early conquest of the South Pole possible. Beaver Glacier (Ross Ice Shelf) (Antarctica)Beaver Glacier () is a glacier, 15 miles long, draining the coastal mountains of the Queen Alexandra Range just northwest of Mount Fox and entering the Ross Ice Shelf at McCann Point. It was named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE) (1959-60) after the Beaver aircraft City of Auckland, which crashed in this area in January 1960. | ||
