glacier, ice cap
flowing S into Weddell Sea, W of Jefford Point (q.v.), S James Ross Island, was called in error Rabot Glacier (USHO, 1943, p.264) or Glaciar Rabot (Argentina. MM chart 103, 1949; Chile. IHA, 1974, p.237) after C. Rabot (Rabot Point, q.v.); surveyed by FIDS from "Hope Bay", 1958-61, and named descriptively Swift Glacier, as it is one of the most active glaciers on the island (APC, 1964, p.4; BAS 250 sheet SQ 21-22/1 (Ext.), 1-DOS 1974).
