Endeavour Piedmont Glacier is a piedmont glacier, 6 nautical miles (11 km; 7 mi) long and 2 nautical miles (4 km; 2 mi) wide, between the southwest part of Mount Bird and Micou Point, Ross Island. In association with the names of expedition ships grouped on this island, it was named after HMNZS Endeavour, a tanker/supply ship which for at least 10 seasons, 1962–63 to 1971–72, transported bulk petroleum products and cargo to Scott Base and McMurdo Station on Ross Island.[1]
