The Fisher Glacier was sighted from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) aircraft by K.B.

[2] However, a study released in 2002 showed that the grounding line of the Lambert, Mellor and Fisher glacier system is up 240 kilometres (150 mi) closer to the South Pole than had been previously thought.

[3] Still, the combined Lambert, Mellor and Fisher glaciers have a total grounded area of more than 97,000 square kilometres (37,000 sq mi).

These fluctuations do not appear in the upper regions of nearby glaciers that also drain central Antarctica, but do appear in their lower parts.
