The Mawson Glacier ( 76°13′S 162°5′E / 76.217°S 162.083°E / -76.217; 162.083 ) is a large glacier on the east coast of Victoria Land , Antarctica, descending eastward from the Antarctic Plateau to the north of Trinity Nunatak and the Kirkwood Range , to enter the Ross Sea , where it forms the Nordenskjöld Ice Tongue. The glacier was first mapped by the British Antarctic Expedition (1907–09) and named for Douglas Mawson , the expedition physicist, who later led two other Antarctic expeditions, 1911–14, and 1929–31.
54-724: After the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) there was dynamic retreat of the ice sheet covering the Ross Sea in the Mawson Glacier region. The glacier thinned abruptly between 7,500 and 4,500 years ago, then thinned more gradually until recently. This thinning was very similar to what happened at the Mackay Glacier 100 kilometres (62 mi) to the south. Probably the ice sheet retreat and glacial ice drawdown were caused by ocean warming. The Mawson Glacier rises on
