In 1982, the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC), in association with Harker Glacier, named the Tyrell Glacier, after George Walter Tyrrell (1883–1961). Tyrell was a senior lecturer in geology, at the University of Glasgow from 1919–48, and authored several papers on the petrology of South Georgia, the South Shetland Islands, and the Palmer Archipelago area.[1]
