Heilman Glacier
Heilman Glacier is a glacier in the northern part of the Queen Elizabeth Range in Antarctica, flowing northwest from Mount Sandved into Nimrod Glacier. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from tellurometer surveys and Navy air photos, 1960–62, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for William L. Heilman, a United States Antarctic Research Program glaciologist at Roosevelt Island, 1961–62.
Eocene–Oligocene extinction event). The term Late Cenozoic Ice Age is used to include this early phase.
During this last glacial period there were alternating episodes of glacier advance and retreat. Within the last glacial period the Last Glacial Maximum was approximately 22,000 years ago. While the general pattern of global cooling and glacier advance was similar, local differences in the development of glacier advance and retreat make it difficult to compare the details from continent to continent (see picture of ice core data below for differences).
