===Venzke Glacier=== {{coord|75|00|S|134|24|W}}. A broad glacier flowing northward between [[Bowyer Butte]] and [[Perry Range]] into Getz Ice Shelf on the coast of Marie Byrd Land. The glacier was discovered and photographed from aircraft of the United States Antarctic Service in December 1940. It was mapped in detail by USGS from surveys and United States Navy photographs, 1959-66. Named by US-ACAN for Captain Norman C. Venzke, USCG, Commanding Officer of USCGC Northwind in Antarctica, 1972 and 1973, and a participant in several other Deep Freeze operations as ship's company officer aboard icebreakers.{{sfn|Alberts|1995|p=779}}
