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: I recommend libdatatape for all your tapey needs. It handles all their oddities, and is capable of serializing stuff nicely.
gollark: (libdatatape takes four bytes though, for data length)
gollark: In any case, tapes are quite big.
gollark: MiB is, er, some different number (1024 * 1024?).
gollark: Actually, MB is 1000000 bytes.
