Scylla Glacier
Scylla Glacier (70°20′S 67°0′E) is a large glacier draining eastward between the Athos and Porthos ranges of the Prince Charles Mountains. Discovered in December 1956 by ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) southern party led by W.G. Bewsher. It was named after Homer's Scylla because of the difficulty in traversing the region due to the glacier.
