Harbord Glacier

Harbord Glacier (75°55′S 162°24′E) is a glacier in Antarctica, flowing along the south side of Mount George Murray. It enters the Ross Sea south of Whitmer Peninsula where it forms Harbord Glacier Tongue. The name derives from the glacier tongue, which was named by Ernest Shackleton for A.E. Harbord, second officer of the Nimrod during the last year of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907–09.[1]

Not to be confused with Harbour Glacier.
