The Whitecloud Glacier (from English white cloud , white cloud ' ) is a glacier in Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . On the west side of the Trinity Peninsula, it flows north to Charcot Bay , which it reaches immediately west of Almond Point .
The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee descriptively named it in 1960 after the weather conditions the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey encountered when surveying the glacier in 1948.
