From information given by Mr. H. Ayres, a local guide, Professor N. E. Odell has sent details of the movement of an aircraft which crashed on this glacier in March 1950 at a point opposite Hende Ridge. Between that date and January 1955 the wreck had travelled to a point opposite Lemmer Peak, a distance of approximately two miles, which is roughly equivalent to 5 to 6 ft. (1.52–1.83 m.) per day.
