Mill Glacier is a tributary glacier, 16 km wide, flowing northwest between the Dominion Range and the Supporters Range into Beardmore Glacier. Discovered by the British Antarctic Expedition (1907-09) and named for Hugh Robert Mill, British geographer and Antarctic historian.
Famous quotes containing the words mill and/or glacier:
“Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds your stuff to any degree of fineness; but, nevertheless, what you get out depends on what you put in; and as the grandest mill in the world will not extract wheat flour from peascods, so pages of formulae will not get a definite result out of loose data.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
““The glacier knocks in the cupboard,
The desert sighs in the bed,
And the crack in the tea-cup opens
A lane to the land of the dead.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
