Walcott Glacier (78°14′S 163°15′E / 78.233°S 163.250°E) is a glacier between Radian and Howchin Glaciers, descending eastward from the Royal Society Range toward Walcott Bay. Named by Taylor of the British Antarctic Expedition (1910–13), presumably for Charles D. Walcott, Director of the U.S. Geological Survey (1894–1907) and Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, 1907–28. Two ice streams flow down from the glacier into Walcott Lake. They are named Walcott North Stream and Walcott South Stream in association with the glacier, and descriptively for their locations on it.

  • Der Walcott-Gletscher ist ein Gletscher im ostantarktischen Viktorialand. Er liegt zwischen dem Radiant-Gletscher und dem Howchin-Gletscher und fließt vom Ostrand der Royal Society Range zur Walcott Bay an der Scott-Küste. Der britische Geologe Thomas Griffith Taylor, Teilnehmer der Terra-Nova-Expedition (1910–1913), benannte ihn nach seinem US-amerikanischen Kollegen Charles Walcott (1850–1927), Direktor des United States Geological Survey (1894–1907) und Sekretär der Smithsonian Institution (1907–1928).

  • Il ghiacciaio Walcott è un ghiacciaio lungo circa 12 km situato nella regione centro-occidentale della Dipendenza di Ross, nell'Antartide orientale. Il ghiacciaio, il cui punto più alto si trova a circa 1400 m s.l.m., si trova nell'entroterra della costa di Scott e ha origine da un circo glaciale situato a sud-est del , nel versante orientale della dorsale Royal Society, da dove fluisce verso sud-est, scorrendo lungo il versante orientale della e quello meridionale della , fino a che il suo flusso, a cui nel frattempo si è unito quello del ghiacciaio Radian, termina poco prima di raggiungere la baia di Walcott.

  • Walcott Glacier är en glaciär i Antarktis. Den ligger i Östantarktis. Nya Zeeland gör anspråk på området. Walcott Glacier ligger 501 meter över havet. Terrängen runt Walcott Glacier är bergig västerut, men österut är den kuperad. Den högsta punkten i närheten är Royal Society Range, 4 070 meter över havet, 15,1 kilometer nordväst om Walcott Glacier. Trakten är obefolkad. Det finns inga samhällen i närheten. (sv)
