The Lammers Glacier is a glacier on the Bowman Coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows in an easterly direction along the north flank of the Godfrey Upland into the Traffic Circle and the Mercator Piedmont Glacier .
The glacier is indistinctly visible in an aerial photo taken on December 20, 1928 by the Australian polar explorer Hubert Wilkins . Further aerial photographs were taken during overflights of the US polar explorer Lincoln Ellsworth in 1935 and the United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939–1941) in 1940. Another sighting took place during the US Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948), whose director Finn Ronne named the glacier after Lester Lammers (1903-1982) from Walla Walla , who gave this research trip nine adult sled dogs and four puppies .
