Glacier 10 mi long, flowing from Bruce Plateau to the W coast of Graham Land just S of Blanchard Ridge. Charted by the FrAE, 1908-10, under Charcot, and named "Glacier du Milieu" (Middle Glacier). Feeling that a more distinctive name was needed, the UK-APC in 1959 renamed the glacier for W.D.C. Wiggins, then Deputy Director of Overseas Surveys.
