The Lidke Ice Stream is an approximately 40 km long ice stream on the English coast of the west Antarctic Ellsworthland . It flows north to Stange Sound , which it reaches east of Mount Benkert .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own surveys in January 1985 and aerial photographs by the United States Navy from 1961 to 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it after David James Lidke, who was involved in surveying the ice flow.
