Discovery and naming

Lied Glacier was surveyed by Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) in 1948. It was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for N.T. Lied, a radio operator and weather observer with ANARE on Heard Island in the years 1951 and 1963, respectively.
