Northeast Glacier

[2] The glacier flows west into Marguerite Bay in Graham Land on the Fallières Coast of the Antarctic Peninsula.

[3] Northeast Glacier was first surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under John Rymill.

It was resurveyed in 1940 by members of the United States Antarctic Service (USAS), who first used the glacier as a sledging route, and so named by them because it lay on the north-eastern side of their base at Stonington Island.

The refuge has food, equipment, medicines and fuel and was used for scientific projects carried out in the 1957–1958 International Geophysical Year.

Ice-covered hill which rises to 1,760 metres (5,770 ft) high and projects 120 metres (390 ft) high above the surrounding ice sheet, situated on the Graham Land plateau 4 nautical miles (7.4 km; 4.6 mi) east-southeast of the head of Northeast Glacier and 8 nautical miles (15 km; 9.2 mi) northeast of the head of Neny Fjord.

First roughly surveyed by the BGLE, 1934–37, and resurveyed in 1940 by sledging parties of the USAS on whose field charts the hill is labeled "Sawtooth."

Rounded, ice-covered hill, 1,790 metres (5,870 ft) high, which forms a prominent landmark 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) east of the head of Northeast Glacier.

Prominent rock bluff, 1,820 metres (5,970 ft) high, standing at the north flank of Northeast Glacier.

A large bowl-shaped depression,0.75 nautical miles (1.39 km; 0.86 mi) in diameter, at the south side of the head of Northeast Glacier.

A sharp peak, 825 metres (2,707 ft) high, which stands 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) north of Mount Rhamnus and is part of the irregular ridge separating Northeast Glacier from Neny Fjord, on the west coast of Graham Land.

A rocky ridge with a number of ice-covered summits, the highest 1,305 metres (4,281 ft) high, forming the north wall of Northeast Glacier.

Butson, FIDS medical officer at Stonington Island, who in July 1947 rescued a member of the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) from a crevasse in Northeast Glacier.

Group of rocks situated 0.5 nautical miles (0.93 km; 0.58 mi) off the southwest corner of Miller and Island and trending in a northwest–southeast direction for 1 nautical mile (1.9 km; 1.2 mi), lying in Marguerite Bay off the west coast of Graham Land.

Small compact group of rocks, lying 5 nautical miles (9.3 km; 5.8 mi) west of Millerand Island.

The name, proposed by FIDS, derives from the old sealers' term "pod," meaning a group of seals hauled ashore.
