Exploration
The glacier was first mapped in 1957 by the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (CTAE), and named for Kenneth V. Blaiklock, the leader of the advance party of the CTAE in 1955–56 and a surveyor with the transpolar party in 1956–58.[1]
Location
The Blaiklock Glacier is one of the larger of the glaciers in the Shackleton Range.[2] The glacier forms below Turnpike Bluff and Wyeth Heights. It flows north and then northeast between the Otter Highlands to the west and the Haskard Highlands to the east.[3] Small glaciers or snowfields trending east from Otter Highlands discharge into Blaiklock Glacier.[4] At its mouth it flows to the south of Nostoc Lake and Mount Provender.[3]
