McCuistion Glacier

McCuistion Glacier (84°49′S 175°30′W) is a tributary glacier, 4 nautical miles (7 km) long, which flows west along the north side of Lubbock Ridge to enter Shackleton Glacier, in the Queen Maud Mountains of Antarctica. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Construction Driver Joshua P.
