History[edit]
Anderson Glacier was charted by the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) and photographed from the air by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition in December 1947. It was named by FIDS for Sir John Anderson, M.P., Lord President of the Council and member of the British War Cabinet.[1]
