'''Brush Glacier''' ({{Coord|74|29|S|111|36|W|source:GNIS|display=inline,title}}) is a broad [[glacier]] in the northwest part of the [[Bear Peninsula]], flowing west into [[Dotson Ice Shelf]] to the north of [[Jeffrey Head]], in [[Marie Byrd Land]].<ref name="gnis-BG" /> The head of the glacier is marked by rocky, wedge-shaped Rogers Spur.<ref name="gnis-RS" /> [[Webster Pass (Antarctica)|Webster Pass]] divides Brush Glacier from [[Holt Glacier]].<ref name=gnis-WP/> |
|||
Both features were first mapped by the [[United States Geological Survey]] (USGS) from air photos taken by [[U.S. Navy Operation Highjump]] in January 1947, and named by the [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] (US-ACAN) for personnel at the Byrd Substation. The glacier was named for station engineer [[Bernard E. Brush]] and the spur for electrical engineer [[James C. Rogers]].<ref name="gnis-BG" /><ref name="gnis-RS" /> |
