History
Cayley Glacier was photographed by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition in 1956–57 and mapped from these photos by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 for Sir George Cayley, English engineer, the "father of aeronautica," who first defined the main principles of mechanical flight, 1796–1857, and also designed the first caterpillar tractor in 1826.

gollark: I think it would probably make sense to make it so that your identity server serves your profile picture, but servers you chat in can cache it for clients and serve it over the chat connection on demand.
gollark: I was envisioning a somewhat more IRC-like thing where you commune directly with each server you want to join.
