Lashly Glacier
Lashly Glacier () is a short, broad glacier in Oates Land, Antarctica, lying between the Lashly Mountains on the west and Tabular Mountain and Mount Feather on the east, flowing south into The Portal, in Victoria Land. It was so named by the New Zealand party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956–58) for its proximity to the Lashly Mountains.
"Discovery" on 26 October 1903.
Ascending a large glacier, which they named after the party's geologist Ferrar, they reached a height of before being held in camp for a week by blizzards. This prevented them from reaching the glacier summit until 13 November. They then marched on beyond Armitage's furthest point, discovered the Polar Plateau and became the first party to travel on it. After the return of geological and supporting parties, Scott, Evans and Lashly continued westward across the featureless plain for another eight days
