Zenith Glacier (71°52′S 163°45′E / 71.867°S 163.750°E / -71.867; 163.750Coordinates: 71°52′S 163°45′E / 71.867°S 163.750°E / -71.867; 163.750) is a glacier which lies 1 mile (1.6 km) west of Johnstone Glacier and drains south from the south end of Lanterman Range, Bowers Mountains. So named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE) to northern Victoria Land, 1967–68, because the glacier is an important geological outcrop area with an impressive view from the top (the head of the glacier) of much of the Bowers Mountains.

Famous quotes containing the word glacier:
““The glacier knocks in the cupboard,
The desert sighs in the bed,
And the crack in the tea-cup opens
A lane to the land of the dead.”
