The purpose of this paper is to make available preliminary information on two recently discovered glaciers in Victoria Land, Antarctica. As a continuation of the International Geophysical Year scientific effort in Antarctica, two ground traverses were organized by the United States Antarctic Research Program and administered by the Arctic Institute of North America. The first of these traverses left Scott Base on October 16, 1959 in three tracked Sno-Cats, traversing parts of the Ross Ice Shelf, the Skelton Glacier, Victoria Land, and Wilkes Land. During the aerial evacuation of the traverse group, consisting of F. G. vander Hoeven, A. W. Stuart, A. J. Heine, W. M. Smith, L. J. Roberts, T. Baldwin, A. R. Taylor, W. A. Jackman, C.
