Bell Glacier

Bell Glacier (66°42′S 124°54′E) is a glacier draining northward into Maury Bay immediately eastward of Blair Glacier. It was mapped by G.D. Blodgett (1955) from aerial photographs taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump (1946–47), and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Thomas G. Bell, boatswain on the sloop Peacock during the United States Exploring Expedition (1838–42) under Lieutenant Charles Wilkes.
