Evison Glacier
Evison Glacier () is a small glacier draining from the south end of Molar Massif in the Bowers Mountains of Victoria Land, Antarctica. This glacier was so named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition, 1967–68, for F.F. Evison, New Zealand's first professor of geophysics. The glacier lies situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
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).
