The Stuckless Glacier is a glacier on Black Island in the Ross Archipelago in Antarctica . It flows between the Rowe Nunatakkern and Cape Beck in a south-westerly direction to Moraine Strait , where it empties into the McMurdo Ice Shelf .
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1999 after the American geologist John S. Stuckless of Northern Illinois University , who had been dealing with the geochemical properties of volcanic rocks in the Ross Archipelago in several Antarctic summer campaigns from 1972 onwards to be compared with the drill core samples obtained in the Antarctic dry valleys .
