The Trio Glacier is a short glacier on the east side of the West Antarctic Alexander I Island, west of the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows between Khufu Peak and Mount Ariel to the Uranus Glacier , which it reaches south of Fossil Bluff .
The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 2005 after the three scientists Cliff Pearce, John P. Smith and Brian Taylor, who worked at the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey station on Fossil Bluff from 1961 to 1962 and were the first to winter there .
