The Andrews Creek is a meltwater stream in the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It flows south along the eastern edge of the Canada Glacier into the western end of Lake Fryxell in the Taylor Valley .
It got its name at the suggestion of the American hydrologist Diane Marie McKnight, head of the team of the United States Geological Survey , which examined the river system of Lake Fryxell in the Taylor Valley between 1987 and 1994 . It is named after the American hydrologist Edmund Andrews, who carried out studies on glacier hydrology in this area from 1987 to 1988 and from 1991 to 1992.
