McElroy Glacier
McElroy Glacier (70°58′S 166°58′E) is a glacier in Antarctica.
Description
McElroy Glacier is a tributary glacier just west of Matthews Ridge on Tapsell Foreland in Victoria Land. It drains to the south to join nearby Barnett Glacier.
Mapping
It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos in 1960–63, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Clifford T. McElroy, a United States Antarctic Research Program geologist at McMurdo Station from 1964–65 and 1966–67.[1]
gollark: Ah. Hmm. Make it pull from the queue a bit faster than the other end sends messages?
gollark: You would still get a massive backlog if you didn't read it at the same speed it was sent, but you could use the linked cards to send it directly/only to the one computer which needs it really fast.
gollark: You would still have to spam and read messages very fast, but it wouldn't affect anything else.
gollark: There are linked cards, which are paired card things which can just directly send/receive messages to each other over any distance. If the problem here is that your data has to run across some central network/dispatcher/whatever, then you could use linked cards in the thing gathering data and the thing needing it urgently to send messages between them very fast without using that.
gollark: It would be kind of inelegant and expensive, but maybe for time- and safety-critical stuff like this you could just send the data directly between the computers which need it by linked card.
