'''Cracktrack Glacier''' ({{coor dm|71|40|S|166|30|E|}}) is a [[glacier]] flowing west from central [[Homerun Range]] into upper [[Tucker Glacier]] in the [[Admiralty Mountains]], [[Victoria Land]]. The glacier provided an access route to [[Field Neve]] for [[R.H. Findlay]]'s [[New Zealand Antarctic Research Program]] (NZARP) geological party during the 1981-82 season. So named because one of the motor toboggan tracks was torn badly here, requiring makeshift field repair.

'''Crane Glacier''' ({{coor dm|65|20|S|62|15|W|}}) is a narrow [[glacier]] which flows 30 nautical miles (60 km) in an east-northeast direction through a deep trough into [[Exasperation Inlet]], on the east coast of [[Antarctic Peninsula]]. Sir [[Hubert Wilkins]] photographed this feature from the air in 1928 and gave it the name [[Crane Channel]], after [[C.K. Crane]] of [[Los Angeles]], reporting that it appeared to be a channel cutting in an east-west direction across the [[peninsula]]. The name was altered to [[Crane Inlet]] following explorations along the west coast of the peninsula in 1936 by the [[British Graham Land Expedition]] (BGLE), which proved that no through channel from the east coast existed as indicated by Wilkins. Comparison of Wilkins' photograph of this feature with those taken in 1947 by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) shows that Wilkins' "Crane Channel" is this glacier, although it lies about 75 nautical miles (140 km) northeast of the position originally reported by Wilkins.
