Socks Glacier
Socks Glacier is a small glacier descending the east slopes of Queen Alexandra Range just north of Owen Hills to enter the west side of Beardmore Glacier.[1] Discovered by the British Antarctic Expedition (1907–09) and named for one of the ponies taken with the South Pole Party. Socks, the last pony to survive the journey, fell into a crevasse on 7 December 1908, on Beardmore Glacier near Socks Glacier.
