Crosswell Glacier
Crosswell Glacier (78°17′S 85°24′W) is a glacier 10 nautical miles (19 km; 12 mi) long, flowing north-northeast from Mount Shinn between Sullivan Heights and Bearskin Ridge, in the central part of the Sentinel Range, Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. Together with Patton and Pulpudeva Glaciers, it enters Ellen Glacier northwest of Mamarchev Peak and southeast of Mount Jumper.

The glacier was first mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from U.S. Navy air photos, 1957–59, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Colonel Horace A. Crosswell, United States Air Force, leader of C-124 Globemaster air drops in establishing the scientific station at the South Pole in the 1956–57 season.[1]
Tributary glaciers
gollark: I already knew about this.
gollark: This is mostly irrelevant to "free will", though. Even if our brains use nondeterministic quantum processes internally, I don't see "deterministic process with RNG glued on in places" as more choice-y than something just deterministic.
gollark: I know the theory gives you probability distributions over things and not some sort of deterministic function from state at t to state at t=1, but it clearly isn't complete so there could be other things going on.
gollark: It seems wrong to say that QM disproves determinism when we know that it isn't actually a complete description of physics, though.
gollark: I guess *on average*.
