Narrative

rising to c. 1000m in N Liard Island, Loubet Coast, was roughly charted by FAE, 1903-05, when the name Sommet Gaudry (Mount Gaudry, q.v.) was apparently applied collectively to this feature and Mount Bridgman (q.v.) (Bongrain, 1914, vue 26 following p.60); photographed from the air by RARE, 1947-48, and by FIDASE, 1956-57, and surveyed from the ground by FIDS from "Detaille Island", 1958-59: in association with the names of glaciologists grouped in this area, named after Dr John Wallington Glen (b.1927), British physicist and glaciologist who investigated the flow of single-crystal and polycrystalline ice; Reader in Ice Physics, University of Birmingham from 1973; Senior Editor, Journal of Glaciology, 1961-85 (APC, 1960, p.4; BA, 1961, p.190; BAS 250P sheet SQ 19-20/10, 1-DOS 1979).
