Harbour Glacier


Harbour Glacier is a through glacier long and wide, lying on the northwest side of Wiencke Island and extending in a northeast direction from Port Lockroy to the cove east of Noble Peak, in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. It was probably first seen by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99, under Gerlache. The glacier was charted in 1944 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, who so named it because of its proximity to the harbour of Port Lockroy.
