Drygalski Glacier

Not to be confused with Drygalski Ice Tongue.

Location of Nordenskjöld Coast.

Drygalski Glacier (64°43′S 60°44′W) is a broad glacier, 18 miles (29 km) long, which flows southeast from Herbert Plateau through a rectangular re-entrant to a point immediately north of Sentinel Nunatak on Nordenskjöld Coast, the east coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was discovered in 1902 by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, under Otto Nordenskiöld, and named "Drygalski Bay" after Professor Erich von Drygalski. The feature was determined to be a glacier by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1947.
