David Glacier

It is fed by two main flows which drain an area larger than 200,000 square kilometres, with an estimated ice discharge rate of 7.8 +/- 0.7 km3/year.

[3] In its lower section the David Glacier flows past the D'Urville Wall, Mount Neumayer and Cape Philippi to the north, in the Prince Albert Mountains, and past Hughes Bluff and Cape Reynolds to the south, to form the Drygalski Ice Tongue, which enters the Ross Sea between Relief Inlet to the north and Geikie Inlet to the south.

A sharply defined nunatak on the northern margin of the upper reaches of David Glacier, 13 nautical miles (24 km; 15 mi) southwest of Mount Wood.

Previously uncharted, it was used (with Mount Wood) as a reference for establishing a United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) field party on Nov. 6, 1962.

An isolated nunatak lying northward of David Glacier and 13 nautical miles (24 km; 15 mi) northeast of Mount Kring.

Arthur L. Kring, USMC, navigator with the United States Navy VX-6 Squadron which provided logistic support for the NZGSAE (1962–63).

Two isolated nunataks situated along the northern margin of David Glacier, 9 nautical miles (17 km; 10 mi) southeast of Mount Wood.

Named by US-ACAN for Barry D. Woodberry, ionospheric physicist with the South Pole Station winter party, 1966.

A rock cape rising abruptly to 490 metres (1,610 ft) high along the coast of Victoria Land, marking the north side of the terminus of David Glacier.

Discovered by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907–09, under Shackleton, who named this feature for Emil Philippi, distinguished geologist, who was a member of the GerAE, 1901–03, under Drygalski.

A conspicuous rock and ice bluff, 310 metres (1,020 ft) high, along the south side of David Glacier, 6 nautical miles (11 km; 6.9 mi) west of Cape Reynolds.

An inlet along the coast of Victoria Land, formed between the cliffs of the Drygalski Ice Tongue on the north and Lamplugh Island and the seaward extension of Clarke Glacier on the south.
