Drummond Glacier is a glacier

Glacier

A glacier is a large persistent body of ice that forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its ablation over many years, often centuries. At least 0.1 km² in area and 50 m thick, but often much larger, a glacier slowly deforms and flows due to stresses induced by its weight...

 10 nautical miles (18 km) long and 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) wide, on the west coast of Graham Land

Graham Land

Graham Land is that portion of the Antarctic Peninsula which lies north of a line joining Cape Jeremy and Cape Agassiz. This description of Graham Land is consistent with the 1964 agreement between the British Antarctic Place-names Committee and the US Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names, in...

Darbel Bay

Darbel Bay is a bay 25 nautical miles wide, indenting the west coast of Graham Land between Capes Bellue and Rey. Discovered and roughly charted by the French Antarctic Expedition under Charcot, 1908–10, who gave it the name "Baie Marin Darbel." The bay was further charted in 1931 by DI...

Hopkins Glacier

Hopkins Glacier is a glacier flowing into Darbel Bay south of Erskine Glacier, on the west coast of Graham Land. Photographed by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd. in 1955-57, and mapped from these photos by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey...

. First roughly surveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1946-47, and named West Balch Glacier. With East Balch Glacier it was reported to fill a transverse depression across Graham Land, but a further survey in 1957 showed that there is no close topographical alignment between the two. The name Balch has been limited to the east glacier and an entirely new name approved for this glacier. Sir Jack C. Drummond (1891–1952), professor of biochemistry at the University of London, helped in the selection and calculation of the sledging rations of many British polar expeditions between World War I

World War I

World War I , which was predominantly called the World War or the Great War from its occurrence until 1939, and the First World War or World War I thereafter, was a major war centred in Europe that began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918...
