Exploration
The Stratton Glacier' was first mapped in 1957 by the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition and named for David G. Stratton, surveyor and deputy leader of the transpolar party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition in 1956–58.[1]
Location
The glacier is fed by ice from the Fuchs Dome in the center of the range, and forms to the east of Pointer Nunatak. It flows north past the ridges of the Haskard Highlands to the west, and past the Lister Heights and La Grange Nunataks to the east, entering the Slessor Glacier between Mount Provender and Mount Skidmore.[2] It is one of the large glaciers in the range.[3]
