The Walcott North Stream (English for Nördlicher Walcottstrom ) is a glacial stream in the East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Royal Society Range, it flows east from the end of Walcott Glacier to Walcott Lake on the Scott Coast .
The New Zealand Geographic Board named it in 1994 based on the name of the glacier that feeds it. It is named after the American geologist Charles Walcott (1850–1927), director of the United States Geological Survey (1894–1907) and secretary of the Smithsonian Institution (1907–1928).
