Keltie Glacier is a large Antarctic glacier, 48 km (30 mi) long, draining from Pain Neve southwest around the southern extremity of the Commonwealth Range, and then northwest to enter Beardmore Glacier at Ranfurly Point.Discovered by the British Antarctic Expedition (1907-09) under Shackleton, who named it for Sir John Scott Keltie, Secretary of the Royal Geographical Society, 1892-1915.A glacier is a large persistent body of ice that forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its ablation (melting and sublimation) over many years, often centuries. At least 0.1 kmA in area and 50 m thick, but often much larger, a glacier slowly deforms and flows due to stresses induced by its weight.
