'''Meinardus Glacier''' ({{coord|73|22|S|61|55|W|source:GNIS|display=inline,title}}) is an extensive [[glacier]] in [[Palmer Land]], Antarctica. It flows in an east-northeast direction to a point immediately east of [[Mount Barkow]], where it is joined from the northwest by [[Haines Glacier]], and then flows east to enter [[New Bedford Inlet]] close west of [[Court Nunatak]], on the east coast of Palmer Land. The glacier was discovered and photographed from the air in December 1940 by the [[United States Antarctic Service]]. During 1947 it was photographed from the air by the [[Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition]] under [[Finn Ronne]], who in conjunction with the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) charted it from the ground. It was named by the FIDS for [[Wilhelm Meinardus]], a German meteorologist and climatologist and author of many publications including the meteorological results of the [[Gauss expedition|German Antarctic Expedition]] under [[Erich von Drygalski|Drygalski]], 1901–03.<ref name=gnis/> |
