Mapple Glacier

Mapple Glacier is a narrow glacier 15 nautical miles long, flowing eastward into Exasperation Inlet, south of Delusion Point on the east side of Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory.

The glacier is to be found two nautical miles north of the Melville Glacier, from which it is separated from it by a line of small peaks. The glacier was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Hope Bay in 1961, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Father Mapple, the whalemen's Nantucket priest in Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, in association with the names of characters from Moby Dick grouped in this area.
