Kelly Glacier
Kelly Glacier () is a steep tributary glacier descending southwest from Mount Peacock to enter Tucker Glacier just south of Mount Titus, in the Admiralty Mountains of Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–62, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Lieutenant Anthony J. Kelly, U.S. Navy, medical officer at Hallett Station, 1961.
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).
