Sledgers Glacier

Sledgers Glacier (71°26′S 162°48′E) is a long tributary glacier in the Bowers Mountains, draining northwest from Husky Pass and along the north flank of Lanterman Range to enter Rennick Glacier between Carnes Crag and Mount Gow. Named by the northern party of New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1963–64, in appreciation of all Antarctic sledging men and the difficult areas they have covered on foot. This glacier was traveled in arduous conditions by the NZGSAE party.

gollark: Isn't automatically hitting flies going to be hard? Can servos move fast enough to aim or whatever? Can you automatically track flies?
gollark: I'm sort of interested in 3D printing, but don't really have much of a use for it (I don't really have any other sort of workshoppy stuff to complement it or things to print), or the money. It does seem to be getting cheaper and more useful as time goes on (more prints being available etc.) so who knows.
gollark: Isn't `c` in quite a few equations? Including the electromagnetism one and stuff. It seems pretty fundamental.
gollark: The great thing about brain rewriting technology is that it makes it easy to hide brain rewriting technology.
gollark: It's a computer game, not an ultra-accurate physics simulator.
